2 Corinthians 4:5 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.
2 We have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways; we refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing.
4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the likeness of God.
5 For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For it is the God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us.
8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
11 For while we live we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
12 So death is at work in us, but life in you.
13 Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, "I believed, and so I spoke," we too believe, and so we speak,
14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence.
15 For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.
16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed every day.
17 For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
18 because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
1 Therefore G1223 PREP seeing we have G2192 V-PAP-NPM this G3588 T-ASF ministry G1248 N-ASF , as G2531 ADV we have received mercy G1653 V-API-1P , we faint G1573 V-PAI-1P not G3756 PRT-N ;
2 But G235 CONJ have renounced G550 V-2AMI-1P the G3588 T-APN hidden things G2927 A-APN of dishonesty G152 N-GSF , not G3361 PRT-N walking G4043 V-PAP-NPM in G1722 PREP craftiness G3834 N-DSF , nor G3366 CONJ handling the word of God deceitfully G1389 V-PAP-NPM ; but G235 CONJ by manifestation G5321 N-DSF of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF truth G225 N-GSF commending G4921 V-PAP-NPM ourselves G1438 F-3APM to G4314 PREP every G3956 A-ASF man G444 N-GPM \'s conscience G4893 N-ASF in the G3588 T-GSM sight G1799 ADV of God G2316 N-GSM .
3 But G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND our G3588 T-NSN gospel G2098 N-NSN be G2076 V-PXI-3S hid G2572 V-RPP-NSN , it is G2076 V-PXI-3S hid G2572 V-RPP-NSN to G1722 PREP them that are lost G622 V-PEP-DPM :
4 In G1722 PREP whom G3739 R-DPM the G3588 T-NSM god G2316 N-NSM of G3588 T-GSM this G3588 T-GSM world G165 N-GSM hath blinded G5186 V-AAI-3S the G3588 T-APN minds G3540 N-APN of G3588 T-ASN them G3588 T-ASN which G3588 T-ASN believe not G571 A-GPM , lest G3361 PRT-N the G3588 T-ASM light G5462 N-ASM of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF glorious G1391 N-GSF gospel G2098 N-GSN of Christ G5547 N-GSM , who G3739 R-NSM is G2076 V-PXI-3S the G3588 T-GSM image G1504 N-NSF of God G2316 N-GSM , should shine G826 V-AAN unto them G846 P-DPM .
5 For G1063 CONJ we preach G2784 V-PAI-1P not G3756 PRT-N ourselves G1438 F-3APM , but G235 CONJ Christ G5547 N-ASM Jesus G2424 N-ASM the Lord G2962 N-ASM ; and G1161 CONJ ourselves G1438 F-3APM your G5216 P-2GP servants G1401 N-APM for Jesus\' sake G1223 PREP .
6 For G3588 T-NSM God G2316 N-NSM , who commanded G2036 V-2AAP-NSM the light G5457 N-ASN to shine G2989 V-AAN out of G1537 PREP darkness G4655 N-GSN , hath G3739 R-NSM shined G2989 V-AAI-3S in G1722 PREP our G3588 T-DPF hearts G2588 N-DPF , to G4314 PREP give the light G5462 N-ASM of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF knowledge G1108 N-GSF of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF glory G1391 N-GSF of God G2316 N-GSM in G1722 PREP the face G4383 N-DSN of Jesus G2424 N-GSM Christ G5547 N-GSM .
7 But G1161 CONJ we have G2192 V-PAI-1P this G3588 T-ASM treasure G2344 N-ASM in G1722 PREP earthen G3749 A-DPN vessels G4632 N-DPN , that G2443 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF excellency G5236 N-NSF of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF power G1411 N-GSF may be G5600 V-PXS-3S of God G2316 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ not G3361 PRT-N of G1537 PREP us G2257 P-1GP .
8 We are troubled G2346 V-PPP-NPM on G1722 PREP every side G3956 A-DSM , yet G235 CONJ not G3756 PRT-N distressed G4729 V-PPP-NPM ; we are perplexed G639 V-PMP-NPM , but G235 CONJ not G3756 PRT-N in despair G1820 V-PNP-NPM ;
9 Persecuted G1377 V-PPP-NPM , but G235 CONJ not G3756 PRT-N forsaken G1459 V-PPP-NPM ; cast down G2598 V-PPP-NPM , but G235 CONJ not G3756 PRT-N destroyed G622 V-PEP-NPM ;
10 Always G3842 ADV bearing about G4064 V-PAP-NPM in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSN body G4983 N-DSN the G3588 T-ASF dying G3500 N-ASF of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM Lord G2962 N-GSM Jesus G2424 N-GSM , that G2443 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF life G2222 N-NSF also G2532 CONJ of Jesus G2424 N-GSM might be made manifest G5319 V-APS-3S in G1722 PREP our G3588 T-DSN body G4983 N-DSN .
11 For G1063 CONJ we G3588 T-NPM which live G2198 V-PAP-NPM are always G104 ADV delivered G3860 V-PPI-1P unto G1519 PREP death G2288 N-ASM for Jesus\' sake G1223 PREP , that G2443 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF life G2222 N-NSF also G2532 CONJ of Jesus G2424 N-ASM might be made manifest G5319 V-APS-3S in G1722 PREP our G3588 T-DSF mortal G2349 A-DSF flesh G4561 N-DSF .
12 So then G5620 CONJ death G2288 N-NSM worketh G1754 V-PMI-3S in G1722 PREP us G3588 T-NSF , but G1161 CONJ life G2222 N-NSF in G1722 PREP you G2254 P-1DP .
13 We having G2192 V-PAP-NPM the G3588 T-ASN same G846 P-ASN spirit G4151 N-ASN of faith G4102 N-GSF , according as G2596 PREP it is written G1125 V-RPP-ASN , I believed G4100 V-AAI-1S , and G2532 CONJ therefore G1352 CONJ have I spoken G2980 V-AAI-1S ; we G2249 P-1NP also G2532 CONJ believe G4100 V-PAI-1P , and G2532 CONJ therefore G1352 CONJ speak G2980 V-PAI-1P ;
14 Knowing G1492 V-RAP-NPM that G3588 T-NSM he which raised up G1453 V-AAP-NSM the G3588 T-ASM Lord G2962 N-ASM Jesus G2424 N-ASM shall raise up G1453 V-FAI-3S us G2248 P-1AP also G2532 CONJ by G1223 PREP Jesus G2424 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ shall present G3936 V-FAI-3S us with G4862 PREP you G5213 P-2DP .
15 For G1063 CONJ all things G3956 A-NPN are for your sakes G1223 PREP , that G2443 CONJ the G3588 T-NPN abundant G4121 V-AAP-NSF grace G5485 N-NSF might through G1223 PREP the G3588 T-ASF thanksgiving G2169 N-ASF of many G4119 A-GPN-C redound G4052 V-AAS-3S to G1519 PREP the G3588 T-ASF glory G1391 N-ASF of God G2316 N-GSM .
16 For which cause G1352 CONJ we faint G1573 V-PAI-1P not G3756 PRT-N ; but G235 CONJ though G1499 our G3588 T-NSM outward G1854 ADV man G444 N-NSM perish G1311 V-PPI-3S , yet G235 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM inward G2081 ADV man is renewed G341 V-PPI-3S day by day G2250 N-DSF .
17 For G1063 CONJ our G2257 P-1GP light G1645 A-NSN affliction G2347 N-GSF , which is but for a moment G3910 ADV , worketh G2716 V-PNI-3S for us G2254 P-1DP a far more exceeding G2596 PREP and eternal G166 A-ASN weight G922 N-ASN of glory G1391 N-GSF ;
18 While we G2257 P-1GP look not at G4648 V-PAP-GPM the things which are seen G991 V-PPP-APN , but G235 CONJ at the G3588 T-NPN things which G3588 T-NPN are not seen G991 V-PPP-APN : for G1063 CONJ the things which are seen G991 V-PPP-NPN are temporal G4340 A-NPN ; but G1161 CONJ the things which are not seen G991 V-PPP-NPN are eternal G166 A-NPN .
