1 God gave us this work by His grace. So we will not lose heart.
2 Corinthians 4: 1
2 But we have passed through secret and shameful ways, we do not use cunning, nor do we change the word of God. No We clearly preach the truth. In this way, we show people who we are. That they may know in their hearts what kind of man we are in the sight of God.
2 Corinthians 4: 2
3 The good news we preach is hidden. But it is hidden only from those who are lost.
2 Corinthians 4: 3
4 The Lord of this world has blinded the minds of those who do not believe. They cannot see the light of the gospel, the gospel of the glory of Christ. There is only Christ who is exactly like God.
2 Corinthians 4: 4
5 We do not preach ourselves. But we preach that Jesus Christ is Lord. And we preach that we are your servants for Jesus.
2 Corinthians 4: 5
6 God once said, “Let the light shine out of darkness.” And this is the same God who has given light to our hearts. He made known to us the glory of God, who is Christ, and gave it to us.
2 Corinthians 4: 6
7 We have this treasure from God. But we are just like those clay pots in which the treasure is stored. It is clear that this great power is not from us but from God.
2 Corinthians 4: 7
8 We are surrounded by difficulties, but we are not defeated. Most of the time we don’t know what to do but we don’t give up.
2 Corinthians 4: 8
9 We are persecuted, but God does not forsake us. Sometimes we are thrown down but we are never destroyed.
2 Corinthians 4: 9
10 The mother of Jesus is in our body, and wherever we go, we always carry this death with us, so that the life of Jesus may be shown in our bodies.
2 Corinthians 4:10
11 We live, but for Jesus we all live in danger of death. This happens to us so that Jesus’ life can be seen in our dying bodies.
2 Corinthians 4:11
12 That is why death is working in us, but life is working in you.
2 Corinthians 4:12
13 It is written in the Scriptures; “Because I believed, I spoke.” Our faith is similar. We believe and that is why we speak.
2 Corinthians 4:13
14 God raised the Lord Jesus from the dead. And we know that God will raise us up along with Jesus. God will bring us with you. We will stand before him.
2 Corinthians 4:14
15 All these things are for you. That is why God’s grace has been given to as many people as possible. So much thanks be to God for his glory.
2 Corinthians 4:15
