2 Corinthians 4 📜 📕 ↷
Light of the Gospel
1 THEREFORE having this ministration; according as we have obtained mercy, we fail not,📜💬📚
2 but we renounce the secret things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God, but in manifestation of the truth commending our-selves to every conscience of men before God.📜💬📚
3 And if our Gospel be also hid, in them that perish it is hid,📜💬📚
4 in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of the infidels, that the illumination of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine to them.📜💬📚
5 For we preach not our-selves, but JESUS Christ our Lord: and us, your servants by JESUS:📜💬📚
6 because God that commanded light to shine of darkness, he hath shined in our hearts to the illumination of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ JESUS.📜💬📚
Treasure in Jars of Clay
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency may be of the power of God, and not of us.📜💬📚
8 In all things we suffer tribulation, but are not in distress: we want, but are not destitute:📜💬📚
9 we suffer persecution, but are not forsaken: we are cast down, but we perish not:📜💬📚
10 always bearing about in our body the mortification of JESUS, that the life also of JESUS may be manifested in our bodies.📜💬📚
