4:1  Ideo habentes administrationem, juxta quod misericordiam consecuti sumus, non deficimus,

4:1  Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

4:2  But we renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness nor adulterating the word of God: but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience, in the sight of God.

4:2  sed abdicamus occulta dedecoris, non ambulantes in astutia, neque adulterantes verbum Dei, sed in manifestatione veritatis commendantes nosmetipsos ad omnem conscientiam hominum coram Deo.

4:2  But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

4:3  And if our gospel be also hid, it is hid to them that are lost,

4:3  Quod si etiam opertum est Evangelium nostrum, in iis, qui pereunt, est opertum :

4:3  But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine unto them.

4:4  in quibus Deus hujus sæculi excæcavit mentes infidelium, ut non fulgeat illis illuminatio Evangelii gloriæ Christi, qui est imago Dei.

4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

4:5  For we preach not ourselves, but Jesus Christ our Lord: and ourselves your servants through Jesus.

4:5  Non enim nosmetipsos prædicamus, sed Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum : nos autem servos vestros per Jesum :

4:5  For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.

4:6  For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ Jesus.

4:6  quoniam Deus, qui dixit de tenebris lucem splendescere, ipse illuxit in cordibus nostris ad illuminationem scientiæ claritatis Dei, in facie Christi Jesu.

4:6  For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

4:7  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency may be of the power of God and not of us.

4:7  Habemus autem thesaurum istum in vasis fictilibus : ut sublimitas sit virtutis Dei, et non ex nobis.

4:7  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

4:8  In all things we suffer tribulation: but are not distressed. We are straitened: but are not destitute.

4:8  In omnibus tribulationem patimur, sed non angustiamur : aporiamur, sed non destituimur :

4:8  We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

4:9  We suffer persecution: but are not forsaken. We are cast down: but we perish not.

4:9  persecutionem patimur, sed non derelinquimur : dejicimur, sed non perimus :

4:9  Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

4:10  Always bearing about in our body the mortification of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodies.

4:10  semper mortificationem Jesu in corpore nostro circumferentes, ut et vita Jesu manifestetur in corporibus nostris.

4:10  Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

4:11  For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake: that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

4:11  Semper enim nos, qui vivimus, in mortem tradimur propter Jesum : ut et vita Jesu manifestetur in carne nostra mortali.

4:11  For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

4:12  So then death worketh in us: but life in you.

4:12  Ergo mors in nobis operatur, vita autem in vobis.

4:12  So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

4:13  But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed, for which cause I have spoken; we also believe. For which cause we speak also:

4:13  Habentes autem eumdem spiritum fidei, sicut scriptum est : Credidi, propter quod locutus sum : et nos credimus, propter quod et loquimur :

4:13  We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

4:14  Knowing that he who raised up Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus and place us with you.

4:14  scientes quoniam qui suscitavit Jesum, et nos cum Jesu suscitabit, et constituet vobiscum.

4:14  Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

4:15  For all things are for your sakes: that the grace, abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God.

4:15  Omnia enim propter vos : ut gratia abundans, per multos in gratiarum actione, abundet in gloriam Dei.

4:15  For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

4:16  For which cause we faint not: but though our outward man is corrupted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

4:16  Propter quod non deficimus : sed licet is, qui foris est, noster homo corrumpatur, tamen is, qui intus est, renovatur de die in diem.

4:16  For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

4:17  For that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation worketh for us above measure, exceedingly an eternal weight of glory.

4:17  Id enim, quod in præsenti est momentaneum et leve tribulationis nostræ, supra modum in sublimitate æternum gloriæ pondus operatur in nobis,

4:17  For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

4:18  While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal: but the things which are not seen, are eternal.

4:18  non contemplantibus nobis quæ videntur, sed quæ non videntur. Quæ enim videntur, temporalia sunt : quæ autem non videntur, æterna sunt.

4:18  While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
