2Corinthians:4:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore seeing we have this ministry ,
as we have received mercy ,
we faint not ;
*
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 .
*
But if our gospel be hid ,
it is hid to them that are lost :
*
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 .
*
For we preach not ourselves ,
but Christ Jesus the Lord ;
and ourselves your servants for Jesus '
sake .
*
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 .
*
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels ,
that the excellency of the power may be of God ,
and not of us .
*
We are troubled on every side ,
yet not distressed ;
we are perplexed ,
but not in despair ;
*
Persecuted ,
but not forsaken ;
cast down ,
but not destroyed ;
*
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 .
