1Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of Elohim deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of Elohim.
3But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Messiah, who is the image of Elohim, should shine unto them.
5For we preach not ourselves, but Messiah Yahusha the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Yahusha' sake.
6For Elohim, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to the light of the knowledge of the glory of Elohim in the face of Yahusha Messiah.
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of Elohim, and not of us.
8troubled on every side, yet not distressed; perplexed, but not in despair;
9Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Yahusha, that the life also of Yahusha might be made manifest in our body.
11For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Yahusha' sake, that the life also of Yahusha might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Yahusha shall raise up us also by Yahusha, and shall present with you.
15For all things for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of Elohim.
16For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward is renewed day by day.
17For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding eternal weight of glory;
18While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen temporal; but the things which are not seen eternal.
