2 Corinthians 4

1 He declareth how he hath used all sincerity and faithful diligence in preaching the Gospel, 7 and how the troubles and persecutions which he daily endured for the same did redound to the praise of God's power, 12 to the benefit of the Church, 16 and to the apostle's own eternal glory.

 4:1 ¶ Therefore x1223 x5124 seeing y1223 y5124 we have 2192 z5723 this 5026 ministry, 1248 as 2531 we have received mercy, 1653 z5681 we faint 1573 z5719 not; 3756

 4:2 But 235 have renounced 550 z5639 the x3588 hidden things 2927 of dishonesty, 152 not 3361 walking 4043 z5723 in 1722 craftiness, 3834 nor 3366 handling y1389 z0 the word y3056 of God y2316 deceitfully; 1389 z5723 x3588 x3056 x2316 but 235 by manifestation 5321 of the x3588 truth 225 commending 4921 z5723 ourselves 1438 to 4314 every 3956 man's 444 conscience 4893 in the sight 1799 of God. 2316

 4:3 But 1161 if y1499 x1487 x2532 our 2257 gospel 2098 be 2076 z5748 hid, 2572 z5772 it is 2076 z5748 hid 2572 z5772 to 1722 them that are lost: 622 z5730

 4:4 In 1722 whom 3739 the x3588 god 2316 of this 5127 world 165 hath blinded 5186 z5656 the x3588 minds 3540 of them which believe not, 571 lest 3361 y1519 the x3588 light 5462 of the x3588 glorious 1391 gospel 2098 of Christ, 5547 who 3739 is 2076 z5748 the image 1504 of God, 2316 should shine 826 z5658 unto them. 846

 4:5 For 1063 we preach 2784 z5719 not 3756 ourselves, 1438 but 235 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 the Lord; 2962 and 1161 ourselves 1438 your 5216 servants 1401 for y1223 z0 Jesus' y2424 sake. 1223 x2424

 4:6 For 3754 God, 2316 who y3588 commanded 2036 z5631 the light 5457 to shine 2989 z5658 out of 1537 darkness, 4655 y3739 hath x3739 shined 2989 z5656 in 1722 our 2257 hearts, 2588 to 4314 [give] the light 5462 of the x3588 knowledge 1108 of the x3588 glory 1391 of God 2316 in 1722 the face 4383 of Jesus 2424 Christ. 5547

 4:7 But 1161 we have 2192 z5719 this 5126 treasure 2344 in 1722 earthen 3749 vessels, 4632 that 2443 the x3588 excellency 5236 of the x3588 power 1411 may be 5600 z5753 of God, 2316 and 2532 not 3361 of 1537 us. 2257

 4:8 [We are] troubled 2346 z5746 on 1722 every side, 3956 yet 235 not 3756 distressed; 4729 z5746 [we are] perplexed, 639 z5734 but 235 not 3756 in despair; 1820 z5740

 4:9 Persecuted, 1377 z5746 but 235 not 3756 forsaken; 1459 z5746 cast down, 2598 z5746 but 235 not 3756 destroyed; 622 z5730

 4:10 Always 3842 bearing about 4064 z5723 in 1722 the x3588 body 4983 the x3588 dying 3500 of the x3588 Lord 2962 Jesus, 2424 that 2443 the x3588 life 2222 also 2532 of Jesus 2424 might be made manifest 5319 z5686 in 1722 our 2257 body. 4983

 4:11 For x1063 we 2249 which y3588 live 2198 z5723 are y3860 z0 always 104 y1063 delivered 3860 z5743 unto 1519 death 2288 for y1223 z0 Jesus' y2424 sake, 1223 x2424 that 2443 the x3588 life 2222 also 2532 of Jesus 2424 might be made manifest 5319 z5686 in 1722 our 2257 mortal 2349 flesh. 4561

 4:12 So y5620 then 3303 x5620 death 2288 worketh 1754 z5731 in 1722 us, y2254 x5213 but 1161 life 2222 in 1722 you. y5213 x2254

 4:13 1161 We having 2192 z5723 the x3588 same 846 spirit 4151 of faith, 4102 according as 2596 it is written, 1125 z5772 I believed, 4100 z5656 and x2532 therefore 1352 have I spoken; 2980 z5656 we 2249 also 2532 believe, 4100 z5719 and 2532 therefore 1352 speak; 2980 z5719

 4:14 Knowing 1492 z5761 that 3754 he which raised up 1453 z5660 the x3588 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 shall raise up 1453 z5692 us 2248 also 2532 by 1223 Jesus, 2424 and 2532 shall present 3936 z5692 [us] with 4862 you. 5213

 4:15 For 1063 all things 3956 [are] for y1223 z0 your y5209 sakes, 1223 x5209 that 2443 the x3588 abundant 4121 z5660 grace 5485 might y4052 z0 through 1223 the x3588 thanksgiving 2169 of many 4119 redound 4052 z5661 to 1519 the x3588 glory 1391 of God. 2316

 4:16 For which cause 1352 we faint 1573 z5719 not; 3756 but 235 though 1499 our 2257 outward 1854 man 444 perish, 1311 z5743 yet 235 the x3588 inward 2081 [man] is renewed 341 z5743 day y2250 by y2532 day. 2250 x2532

 4:17 For 1063 our 2257 light 1645 affliction, 2347 which y3588 is but for a moment, 3910 worketh 2716 z5736 for us 2254 a far y2596 y5236 more exceeding 1519 5236 x2596 [and] eternal 166 weight 922 of glory; 1391

 4:18 While y4648 z0 we 2257 look y4648 z0 not y3361 at 4648 z5723 x3361 the things which are seen, 991 z5746 but 235 at the things which are y991 z0 not y3361 seen: 991 z5746 x3361 for 1063 the things which are seen 991 z5746 [are] temporal; 4340 but 1161 the things which are y991 z0 not y3361 seen 991 z5746 x3361 [are] eternal. 166
