2 Corinthians 4:2-18

4:2

But
<235>

have renounced
<550> (5639)

the hidden things
<2927>

of dishonesty
<152>_,

not
<3361>

walking
<4043> (5723)

in
<1722>

craftiness
<3834>_,

nor
<3366>

handling
<1389> (0)

the word
<3056>

of God
<2316>

deceitfully
<1389> (5723)_;

but
<235>

by manifestation
<5321>

of the truth
<225>

commending
<4921> (5723)

ourselves
<1438>

to
<4314>

every
<3956>

man's
<444>

conscience
<4893>

in the sight
<1799>

of God
<2316>_.

{dishonesty: Gr. shame}

4:3

But
<1161>

if
<1499>

our
<2257>

gospel
<2098>

be
<2076> (5748)

hid
<2572> (5772)_,

it is
<2076> (5748)

hid
<2572> (5772)

to
<1722>

them that are lost
<622> (5730)_:

4:4

In
<1722>

whom
<3739>

the god
<2316>

of this
<5127>

world
<165>

hath blinded
<5186> (5656)

the minds
<3540>

of them which believe not
<571>_,

lest
<1519> <3361>

the light
<5462>

of the glorious
<1391>

gospel
<2098>

of Christ
<5547>_,

who
<3739>

is
<2076> (5748)

the image
<1504>

of God
<2316>_,

should shine
<826> (5658)

unto them
<846>_.

4:5

For
<1063>

we preach
<2784> (5719)

not
<3756>

ourselves
<1438>_,

but
<235>

Christ
<5547>

Jesus
<2424>

the Lord
<2962>_;

and
<1161>

ourselves
<1438>

your
<5216>

servants
<1401>

for
<1223> (0)

Jesus
<2424>_'

sake
<1223>_.

4:6

For
<3754>

God
<2316>_,

who
<3588>

commanded
<2036> (5631)

the light
<5457>

to shine
<2989> (5658)

out of
<1537>

darkness
<4655>_,

<3739>

hath shined
<2989> (5656)

in
<1722>

our
<2257>

hearts
<2588>_,

to
<4314>

[give] the light
<5462>

of the knowledge
<1108>

of the glory
<1391>

of God
<2316>

in
<1722>

the face
<4383>

of Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_.

{hath: Gr. is he who hath}

4:7

But
<1161>

we have
<2192> (5719)

this
<5126>

treasure
<2344>

in
<1722>

earthen
<3749>

vessels
<4632>_,

that
<2443>

the excellency
<5236>

of the power
<1411>

may be
<5600> (5753)

of God
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

not
<3361>

of
<1537>

us
<2257>_.

4:8

[We are] troubled
<2346> (5746)

on
<1722>

every side
<3956>_,

yet
<235>

not
<3756>

distressed
<4729> (5746)_;

[we are] perplexed
<639> (5734)_,

but
<235>

not
<3756>

in despair
<1820> (5740)_;

{in despair: or, altogether without help, or, means}

4:9

Persecuted
<1377> (5746)_,

but
<235>

not
<3756>

forsaken
<1459> (5746)_;

cast down
<2598> (5746)_,

but
<235>

not
<3756>

destroyed
<622> (5730)_;

4:10

Always
<3842>

bearing about
<4064> (5723)

in
<1722>

the body
<4983>

the dying
<3500>

of the Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>_,

that
<2443>

the life
<2222>

also
<2532>

of Jesus
<2424>

might be made manifest
<5319> (5686)

in
<1722>

our
<2257>

body
<4983>_.

4:11

For we
<2249>

which
<3588>

live
<2198> (5723)

are
<3860> (0)

alway
<104> <1063>

delivered
<3860> (5743)

unto
<1519>

death
<2288>

for
<1223> (0)

Jesus
<2424>_'

sake
<1223>_,

that
<2443>

the life
<2222>

also
<2532>

of Jesus
<2424>

might be made manifest
<5319> (5686)

in
<1722>

our
<2257>

mortal
<2349>

flesh
<4561>_.

4:12

So
<5620>

then
<3303>

death
<2288>

worketh
<1754> (5731)

in
<1722>

us
<2254>_,

but
<1161>

life
<2222>

in
<1722>

you
<5213>_.

4:13

<1161>@ We having
<2192> (5723)

the same
<846>

spirit
<4151>

of faith
<4102>_,

according as
<2596>

it is written
<1125> (5772)_,

I believed
<4100> (5656)_,

and therefore
<1352>

have I spoken
<2980> (5656)_;

we
<2249>

also
<2532>

believe
<4100> (5719)_,

and
<2532>

therefore
<1352>

speak
<2980> (5719)_;

4:14

Knowing
<1492> (5761)

that
<3754>

he which raised up
<1453> (5660)

the Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>

shall raise up
<1453> (5692)

us
<2248>

also
<2532>

by
<1223>

Jesus
<2424>_,

and
<2532>

shall present
<3936> (5692)

[us] with
<4862>

you
<5213>_.

4:15

For
<1063>

all things
<3956>

[are] for
<1223> (0)

your
<5209>

sakes
<1223>_,

that
<2443>

the abundant
<4121> (5660)

grace
<5485>

might
<4052> (0)

through
<1223>

the thanksgiving
<2169>

of many
<4119>

redound
<4052> (5661)

to
<1519>

the glory
<1391>

of God
<2316>_.

4:16

For which cause
<1352>

we faint
<1573> (5719)

not
<3756>_;

but
<235>

though
<1499>

our
<2257>

outward
<1854>

man
<444>

perish
<1311> (5743)_,

yet
<235>

the inward
<2081>

[man] is renewed
<341> (5743)

day
<2250>

by
<2532>

day
<2250>_.

4:17

For
<1063>

our
<2257>

light
<1645>

affliction
<2347>_,

which
<3588>

is but for a moment
<3910>_,

worketh
<2716> (5736)

for us
<2254>

a far
<2596> <5236>

more exceeding
<1519> <5236>

[and] eternal
<166>

weight
<922>

of glory
<1391>_;

4:18

While
<4648> (0)

we
<2257>

look
<4648> (0)

not
<3361>

at
<4648> (5723)

the things which are seen
<991> (5746)_,

but
<235>

at the things which are
<991> (0)

not
<3361>

seen
<991> (5746)_:

for
<1063>

the things which are seen
<991> (5746)

[are] temporal
<4340>_;

but
<1161>

the things which are
<991> (0)

not
<3361>

seen
<991> (5746)

[are] eternal
<166>_.
