2 Corinthians 4 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Paul's Apostolic Ministry

2Co 4:1Therefore, having this ministry, as we have had mercy shewn us, we faint not.

2Co 4:2But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.

2Co 4:3

2Co 4:3But if also our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those that are lost;

2Co 4:4

2Co 4:4in whom the god of this world has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine forth for them.

2Co 4:5

2Co 4:5For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus Lord, and ourselves your bondmen for Jesus' sake.

2Co 4:6

2Co 4:6Because it is the God who spoke that out of darkness light should shine who has shone in our hearts for the shining forth of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

2Co 4:7

2Co 4:7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us:

2Co 4:8

2Co 4:8every way afflicted, but not straitened; seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up;

2Co 4:9

2Co 4:9persecuted, but not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyed;

2Co 4:10

2Co 4:10always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body;

2Co 4:11

2Co 4:11for we who live are always delivered unto death on account of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh;

2Co 4:12

2Co 4:12so that death works in us, but life in you.

2Co 4:13

2Co 4:13And having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, I have believed, therefore have I spoken; *we* also believe, therefore also we speak;

2Co 4:14

2Co 4:14knowing that he who has raised the Lord Jesus shall raise us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you.

2Co 4:15

2Co 4:15For all things are for your sakes, that the grace abounding through the many may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

2Co 4:16

2Co 4:16Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward man is consumed, yet the inward is renewed day by day.

2Co 4:17

2Co 4:17For our momentary and light affliction works for us in surpassing measure an eternal weight of glory;

2Co 4:18

2Co 4:18while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen are for a time, but those that are not seen eternal.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
