1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we
      have received mercy, we faint not;
       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.
       3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them
      that are lost:
       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.
       5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus
      the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus'
      sake.
       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.
       7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,
      that the excellency of the power may be of God,
      and not of us.
       8 We are troubled on every side, yet not
      distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
       9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but
      not destroyed;
      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.
      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.
      12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
      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;
      14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus
      shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall
      present us with you.
      15 For all things are for your sakes, that the
      abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of
      many redound to the glory of God.
      16 For which cause we faint not; but though our
      outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed
      day by day.
      17 For our light affliction, which is but for a
      moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and
      eternal weight of glory;
      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.
