sed abdicamus occulta dedecoris non ambulantes in astutia neque adulterantes verbum Dei sed in manifestatione veritatis commendantes nosmet ipsos ad omnem conscientiam hominum coram Deo
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.
|
| 3 |
quod si etiam opertum est evangelium nostrum in his qui pereunt est opertum

in quibus deus huius saeculi excaecavit mentes infidelium ut non fulgeat inluminatio evangelii gloriae Christi qui est imago Dei
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.
|
| 5 |
non enim nosmet ipsos praedicamus sed Iesum Christum Dominum nos autem servos vestros per Iesum
For we preach not ourselves, but Jesus Christ our Lord: and ourselves your servants through Jesus.
|
| 6 |
quoniam Deus qui dixit de tenebris lucem splendescere qui inluxit in cordibus nostris ad inluminationem scientiae claritatis Dei in facie Christi Iesu
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.

habemus autem thesaurum istum in vasis fictilibus ut sublimitas sit virtutis Dei et non ex nobis

in omnibus tribulationem patimur sed non angustiamur aporiamur sed non destituimur
In all things we suffer tribulation: but are not distressed. We are straitened: but are not destitute.
|
| 9 |
persecutionem patimur sed non derelinquimur deicimur sed non perimus
We suffer persecution: but are not forsaken. We are cast down: but we perish not.

semper mortificationem Iesu in corpore nostro circumferentes ut et vita Iesu in corporibus nostris manifestetur
Always bearing about in our body the mortification of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodies.

semper enim nos qui vivimus in mortem tradimur propter Iesum ut et vita Iesu manifestetur in carne nostra mortali
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.
|
| 12 |
ergo mors in nobis operatur vita autem in vobis
So then death worketh in us: but life in you.
|
| 13 |
habentes autem eundem spiritum fidei sicut scriptum est credidi propter quod locutus sum et nos credimus propter quod et loquimur
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:
|
| 14 |
scientes quoniam qui suscitavit Iesum et nos cum Iesu suscitabit et constituet vobiscum
Knowing that he who raised up Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus and place us with you.

omnia enim propter vos ut gratia abundans per multos gratiarum actione abundet in gloriam Dei
For all things are for your sakes: that the grace, abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God.

| 16 |
propter quod non deficimus sed licet is qui foris est noster homo corrumpitur tamen is qui intus est renovatur de die in diem
For which cause we faint not: but though our outward man is corrupted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
|
| 17 |
id enim quod in praesenti est momentaneum et leve tribulationis nostrae supra modum in sublimitatem aeternum gloriae pondus operatur nobis
For that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation worketh for us above measure, exceedingly an eternal weight of glory.
|
| 18 |
non contemplantibus nobis quae videntur sed quae non videntur quae enim videntur temporalia sunt quae autem non videntur aeterna sunt
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.
