| 4:1 | Therfor we that han this admynystracioun, aftir this that we han getun merci, |
| 4:2 | faile we not, but do we awei the preue thingis of schame, not walkinge in sutil gile, nether doynge auoutrye bi the word of God, but in schewynge of the treuthe comendynge vs silf to ech conscience of men bifor God. |
| 4:3 | For if also oure gospel is kyuerid, in these that perischen it is kyuerid; |
| 4:4 | in which God hath blent the soulis of vnfeithful men of this world, that the liytnyng of the gospel of the glorie of Crist, which is the ymage of God, schyne not. |
| 4:5 | But we prechen not vs silf, but oure Lord Jhesu Crist; and vs youre seruauntis bi Jhesu. |
| 4:6 | For God, that seide liyt to schyne of derknessis, he hath youe liyt in oure hertis, to the liytnyng of the science of the clerenesse of God, in the face of Jhesu Crist. |
| 4:7 | And we han this tresour in britil vessels, that the worthinesse be of Goddis vertu, and not of vs. |
| 4:8 | In alle thingis we suffren tribulacioun, but we ben not angwischid, or annoyed; we ben maad pore, but `we lacken nothing; we suffren persecucioun, |
| 4:9 | but we ben not forsakun; we ben maad lowe, but we ben not confoundid; we ben cast doun, but we perischen not. |
| 4:10 | And euere more we beren aboute the sleyng of Jhesu in oure bodi, that also the lijf of Jhesu be schewid in oure bodies. |
| 4:11 | For euere more we that lyuen, ben takun in to deth for Jhesu, that the lijf of Jhesu be schewid in oure deedli fleisch. |
| 4:12 | Therfor deth worchith in vs, but lijf worchith in you. |
| 4:13 | And we han the same spirit of feith, as it is writun, Y haue bileuyd, Y haue spoke; and we bileuen, wherfor also we speken; |
| 4:14 | witynge that he that reiside Jhesu, schal reise also vs with Jhesu, and schal ordeyne with you. |
| 4:15 | And alle thingis for you, that a plenteuouse grace bi many thankyngis be plenteuouse in to the glorie of God. |
| 4:16 | For which thing we failen not, for thouy oure vtter man be corruptid; netheles the ynner man is renewid fro dai to dai. |
| 4:17 | But that liyt thing of oure tribulacioun that lastith now, but as it were by a moment, worchith in vs ouer mesure an euerlastynge birthin in to the heiynesse of glorie; |
| 4:18 | while that we biholden not tho thingis that ben seyn, but tho that ben not seyn. For tho thingis that ben seyn, ben but durynge for a schort tyme; but tho thingis that ben not seyn, ben euerlastynge. |
| 4:1 | Therefore, seeing that we haue this ministerie, as we haue receiued mercy, we faint not: |
| 4:2 | But haue cast from vs ye clokes of shame, and walke not in craftines, neither handle we the worde of God deceitfully: but in declaration of the trueth we approue our selues to euery mans conscience in the sight of God. |
| 4:3 | If our Gospell bee then hid, it is hid to them that are lost. |
| 4:4 | In whom the God of this world hath blinded the mindes, that is, of the infidels, that the light of the glorious Gospell of Christ, which is the image of God, should not shine vnto them. |
| 4:5 | For we preach not our selues, but Christ Iesus the Lord, and our selues your seruaunts for Iesus sake. |
| 4:6 | For God that commanded the light to shine out of darknesse, is he which hath shined in our hearts, to giue the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Iesus Christ. |
| 4:7 | But we haue this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellencie of that power might be of God, and not of vs. |
| 4:8 | Wee are afflicted on euery side, yet are we not in distresse: we are in doubt, but yet wee despaire not. |
| 4:9 | We are persecuted, but not forsaken: cast downe, but we perish not. |
| 4:10 | Euery where we beare about in our bodie the dying of the Lord Iesus, that the life of Iesus might also be made manifest in our bodies. |
| 4:11 | For we which liue, are alwaies deliuered vnto death for Iesus sake, that the life also of Iesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. |
| 4:12 | So then death worketh in vs, and life in you. |
| 4:13 | And because we haue the same spirite of faith, according as it is written, I beleeued, and therefore haue I spoken, we also beleeue, and therefore speake, |
| 4:14 | Knowing that he which hath raised vp the Lord Iesus, shall raise vs vp also by Iesus, and shall set vs with you. |
| 4:15 | For all thinges are for your sakes, that that most plenteous grace by the thankesgiuing of many, may redound to the praise of God. |
| 4:16 | Therefore we faint not, but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed daily. |
| 4:17 | For our light affliction which is but for a moment, causeth vnto vs a farre most excellent and an eternall waight of glorie: |
| 4:18 | While we looke not on the thinges which are seene, but on the things which are not seene: for the things which are seene, are temporall: but the things which are not seene, are eternall. |
| 4:1 | Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. |
| 4:2 | But we have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. |
| 4:3 | But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, |
| 4:4 | whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. |
| 4:5 | Because, we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. |
| 4:6 | Because God, who commanded light to shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. |
| 4:7 | But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God 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; struck down, but not destroyed; |
| 4:10 | always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. |
| 4:11 | Because, we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. |
| 4:12 | So then death is working in us, but life in you. |
| 4:13 | We having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed and therefore I spoke," we also believe and therefore speak, |
| 4:14 | knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up by Jesus, and will present us with you. |
| 4:15 | Because, all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace may through the thanksgiving of many, abound to the glory of God. |
| 4:16 | Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. |
| 4:17 | Because, our light affliction, which is only for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, |
| 4:18 | while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. Because, the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. |
