| [1]ON this account we have not weariness in this ministry which we have received, according to the mercies that are upon us. |
[No book] |
| [2]But we have rejected the secrets of shamefulness; and walk not with craft, nor deal deceitfully [with] the word of Aloha; but by the revelation of the truth make we ourselves manifest to the minds of all men before Aloha. |
[No book] |
| [3]But if our gospel is hid, to those who perish is it hid: |
[No book] |
| [4][To] them whose minds the god of this world hath blinded because they believe not; lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Meshiha, who is the image of Aloha, should arise upon them. |
[No book] |
| [5]For we preach not ourselves, but the Meshiha, Jeshu our Lord; but ourselves that we are your servants for the sake of Jeshu. |
[No book] |
| [6]For Aloha, who said, Let light arise from darkness, hath arisen in our hearts; that we should be illuminated by the knowledge of the glory of Aloha in the face of Jeshu Meshiha. |
[No book] |
| [7]BUT we have this treasure in a vase of earth, that the greatness of the power might be from Aloha, and not from us. |
[No book] |
| [8]But in every thing we are afflicted, yet not strangled; we are beaten, yet not condemned; |
[No book] |
| [9]Persecuted, yet not forsaken; cast down, yet we perish not. |
[No book] |
| [10]In all time the dying of Jeshu in our bodies we bear, that the life also of Jeshu might in our bodies be revealed. |
[No book] |
| [11]For if we, the living, unto death are delivered on account of Jeshu, so also will the life of Jeshu be revealed in this our body of death. |
[No book] |
| [12]Now death in us worketh earnestly, but life in you. |
[No book] |
| [13]We then also who have one spirit of faith, as it is written, I have believed, and therefore also spoken; we believe, therefore also we speak. |
[No book] |
| [14]And we know that He who raised up our Lord Jeshu, will by Jeshu raise us also, and will present us with you unto himself. |
[No book] |
| [15]For every thing is for your sake, that grace, abounding by many, may multiply praise to the glory of Aloha. |
[No book] |
| [16]For this cause we have not weariness; for if our outward man is wasted, yet the interior man is renovated day by day. |
[No book] |
| [17]For the affliction of this time, while small and light, a glory without end for ever and ever prepareth for us. |
[No book] |
| [18]While we look not on these which are seen, but at those which are unseen. For the seen are of time, but the unseen are of eternity. |
