4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, we do not walk in craftiness or defraud the word of Elohim (אלהים); but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of Elohim (אלהים).
4:3 But if our good news be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious good news of Moshiach, who is the image of Elohim (אלהים), should shine unto them.
4:5 For we proclaim not ourselves, but Moshiach Yeshua (ישוע) Adonay; and ourselves your servants for Yeshua (ישוע)' sake.
4:6 For Elohim (אלהים), who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of Elohim (אלהים) in the face of Yeshua (ישוע) Moshiach.
4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of Elohim (אלהים), and not of us.
4:8 [We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed; [we are] perplexed, but not in despair;
4:9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
4:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of Adonay Yeshua (ישוע), that the life also of Yeshua (ישוע) might be made manifest in our body.
4:11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Yeshua (ישוע)' sake, that the life also of Yeshua (ישוע) might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
4:12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
4:14 Knowing that he which raised up Adonay Yeshua (ישוע) shall raise up us also by Yeshua (ישוע), and shall present [us] with you.
4:15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of Elohim (אלהים).
4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day.
4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory;
4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal.
