2 Corinthians 4 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

The Gospel of the Glory of Christ

Therefore^G1223^G3778, since we have^G2192 this^G3778 ministry^G1248, as we received^G1653 mercy^G1653, we do not lose^G6023 heart^G6023,

2Co 4:2

2Co 4:2but we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

2Co 4:3

2Co 4:3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled [fn]to those who are perishing,

2Co 4:4

2Co 4:4in whose case the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving [fn]so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

2Co 4:5

2Co 4:5For we do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves [fn]for the sake of Jesus.

2Co 4:6

2Co 4:6For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

2Co 4:7

But we have^G2192 this^G3778 treasure^G2344 in earthen^G3749 vessels^G4632, so^G2443 that the surpassing^G5236 greatness^G5236 of the power^G1411 will be of God^G2316 and not from ourselves^G1473;

2Co 4:8

2Co 4:8in every way afflicted, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;

2Co 4:9

2Co 4:9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

2Co 4:10

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

2Co 4:11

2Co 4:11For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

2Co 4:12

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

2Co 4:13

But having^G2192 the same^G846 spirit^G4151 of faith^G4102, according^G2596 to what is written^G1125, “I BELIEVED^G4100, THEREFORE^G1352 I SPOKE^G2980,” we also^G2532 believe^G4100, therefore^G1352 we also^G2532 speak^G2980,

2Co 4:14

2Co 4:14knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you.

2Co 4:15

2Co 4:15For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace which is [fn]spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God.

2Co 4:16

Therefore^G1352 we do not lose^G6023 heart^G6023, but though^G1487^G2532 our outer^G1854 man^G444 is decaying^G1311, yet^G235 our inner^G2080 man^G2080 is being renewed^G341 day^G2250 by day^G2250.

2Co 4:17

2Co 4:17For our momentary, light affliction is working out for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,

2Co 4:18

2Co 4:18while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
