CHAP. IIII.
1 Hee sheweth that he hath so laboured in preaching the Gospel,
4 that such are euen blinded of Satan, who doe not perceiue
the brightnesse thereof, 7 that the same is caried in
earthen vessels, 10 who are subiect to many miseries, 16
and therefore hee exhorteth them by his owne example to bee
courageous, 17 and contemne this present life.
1 Therefore, note seeing that we haue this ministerie,
as we haue receiued mercy, we note faint not:
2 But haue cast from vs þe; note clokes of shame,
and walke not in craftines, neither handle we the
worde of God note deceitfully: but in declaration of
the trueth we approue our selues to euery mans
conscience in the sight of God.
3 noteIf our Gospell bee then hid, it is hid to
The image of God.
them that are lost.
4 In whom the God of this world hath blinded
the mindes, that is, of the infidels, that the
note light of the glorious Gospell of Christ, which is
the note image of God, should not shine vnto them.
5 noteFor we preach not our selues, but Christ
Iesus the Lorde, and our selues your seruaunts for
note Iesus sake.
6 For God note note that commanded the light to
shine out of darknesse, is he which hath shined in
our hearts, to giue the note light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Iesus Christ.
7 noteBut we haue this treasure in earthen vessels,
note that the excellencie of that power might
be of God, and not of vs.
8 Wee are afflicted on euery side, yet are
we not in distresse: we are in doubt, but yet wee
despaire not.
9 We are persecuted, but not forsaken: cast
downe, but we perish not.
10 noteEuery where we beare about in our bodie
the note dying of the Lorde Iesus, that the life of
Iesus might also be made manifest in our bodies.
11 For we which note liue, are alwaies deliuered
vnto death for Iesus sake, that the life also of Iesus
might be made manifest in our note mortal flesh.
12 noteSo then death worketh in vs, & life in you.
13 noteAnd because we haue the same note spirite
of faith, according as it is written, note I beleeued,
and therefore haue I spoken, we also beleeue, and
therefore speake,
14 Knowing that he which hath raised vp the
Lord Iesus, shall raise vs vp also by Iesus, and shall
set vs with you.
15 noteFor all thinges are for your sakes, note that
that most plenteous grace by the thankesgiuing
of many, may redound to the praise of God.
16 Therefore we faint not, note but though our
outward man perish, yet the inward man is note renewed
daily.
17 For our note light affliction which is but for a
moment, causeth vnto vs a farre most excellent
and an eternall waight of note glorie:
18 While we looke not on the thinges which
are seene, but on the things which are not seene:
for the things which are seene, are temporall: but
the things which are not seene, are eternall.

The earnest of the spirit.
