2 Corinthians 4:1-17

[1] Therefore seeing  we have  ministry,  as  we have received mercy,  we faint  not;  [2] But  have renounced  the hidden things  of dishonesty,  not  walking  in  craftiness,  nor  the word  of God  deceitfully;  but  by manifestation  of the truth  commending  ourselves  to  every  man's  conscience  in the sight  of God.  [3] But  gospel  hid,  to  them that are lost:  [4] In  whom  the god  world  hath blinded  the minds  of them which believe not,  lest  the light  of the glorious  gospel  of Christ,  who  the image  of God,  should shine  [5] For  we preach  not  ourselves,  but  Christ  Jesus  the Lord;  and  ourselves  servants  Jesus'  sake.  [6] For  God,  who  commanded  the light  to shine  out of  darkness,  hath shined  in  hearts,  to  give the light  of the knowledge  of the glory  of God  in  the face  of Jesus  Christ.  [7] But  we have  treasure  in  earthen  vessels,  that  the excellency  of the power  of God,  and  not  of  [8] We are troubled  on  every side,  yet  not  distressed;  we are perplexed,  but  not  in despair;  [9] Persecuted,  but  not  forsaken;  cast down,  but  not  destroyed;  [10] Always  bearing about  in  the body  the dying  Jesus,  that  the life  also  of Jesus  might be made manifest  in  body.  [11] which  live  alway  delivered  unto  death  Jesus'  sake,  that  the life  also  of Jesus  might be made manifest  in  mortal  flesh.  [12] So  death  worketh  in  but  life  in  [13] We having  the same  spirit  of faith,  according as  it is written,  I believed,  and therefore  have I spoken;  also  believe,  and  therefore  speak;  [14] Knowing  that  he which raised up  the Lord  Jesus  shall raise up  also  Jesus,  and  shall present  us with  [15] For  all things  sakes,  that  the abundant  grace  through  the thanksgiving  of many  redound  to  the glory  of God.  [16] For which cause  we faint  not;  but  outward  man  perish,  yet  man is renewed  day  by  day.  [17] For  light  affliction,  which  is but for a moment,  worketh  a far  more exceeding  and eternal  weight  of glory;
