1 Therefore having this ministry, note as we have received mercy, we faint not:
But have renounced note the hidden things of shame,
2 not walking in craftiness,
nor deceitfully corrupting the word of God, but by manifestation
of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the
sight of God.
3 But if our gospel also note is veiled, it is veiled to them
that perish;
4 Whose unbelieving minds the god of this world note hath
blinded, lest the illumination of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the
image of God, should shine upon them.
5 For note we preach not ourselves,
but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God, note who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath
shined in our hearts, to inlighten us with the knowledge of the glory of
God, in the face of Jesus Christ.
-- --
7 But we note have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the
power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled note on every side, yet not
crushed;
9 perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken;
thrown down, but not destroyed;
10 Always note bearing about in the body
the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested
in our body.
11 We who note live are always delivered unto death for the sake
of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal
body.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. note Yet having the
same spirit of faith, note
13 according to what is written, note I believed, and therefore
have I spoken, we also believe, and therefore speak:
14 Knowing that
he who raised up the Lord Jesus, will also raise us up by Jesus, and present
us with you.
15 For all things note are for your sakes, that the overflowing
grace might through the thanksgiving of many abound to the glory
of God.
16 Therefore note we faint not, but even though the outward man
perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, note
-- --
which is but for a moment, worketh out for us a far more exceeding
and eternal weight of glory:
18 While we aim not at the things
that are seen, note but the things that are not seen: for the things that are
seen are temporal, but the things that are not seen are eternal.
