2Cor.4:1. Therefore, having... this ministry, we suffer daily for his sake, for in order to return, in the end, to the place that they lost. 2Cor.4:2. But we renounce from vile deceptions that the law did not defeat, not resorting to deceit and not distorting the words of God, like the false apostles, but by revelation and truth, which was done to me on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:1), All people's consciences are different. Our Gospel is not hidden from anyone. 2 Cor.4:3. If it is closed... then it is closed for those who 2 Cor.4:4. God... of this age, that is, mammon of this time, blinded the minds so that... the light of the Gospel would not shine on them, Which is the image of God. 2 Cor.4:5. For... we do not preach ourselves in the world, but... Jesus... Christ,.. Lord; through our sufferings and our signs we seem to preach about ourselves that we are His servants; 2 Cor.4:6. since God, who spoke - He was the One who shone in our hearts x, so that we, deprived of all knowledge, may be enlightened by knowledge, to enlightenment, he says, to the knowledge of glory 2 Cor.4:7. So, they have this treasure hidden in vessels... clay, that is, these gifts were given to us through the Body of Christ, - so that the abundance of strength comes from God, and not from us, so that our success and our improvement may come from Him, and not from our works. 2 Cor.4:8. We endure sorrow in everything, but we are not ashamed, since thanks to the hope of the promised life we are not deprived of anything, and if we suffer need, we do not hesitate, for we do not fall into indecision because of any trouble. 2 Cor.4:9. Although we are subject to persecution, however, thanks to the protective power of Providence that remains with us, – our disciples do not leave us, because through this their number increases more and more. Although we are attacked (tormented) but not killed, 2 Cor.4:10. We always... carry the deadness of our Lord’s suffering in our body with us, 2 Cor.4:11. the life of Jesus was revealed in... the flesh... our... mortal. 2 Cor.4:12. So, death... is active in us, and life is in you, that is, death operates in us openly, but in you life operates hidden. 2 Cor.4:13. Having thus the same spirit of faith, we should all have the same thoughts, as it is written (is): I believed, - he says, - therefore I spoke (Ps. 116:1), - and we believe, therefore we speak, and what we believe is what we preach, 2 Corinthians 4:14. – knowing that He who resurrected... Jesus will resurrect... us, and establish and strengthen you and me, either he will establish us and you, or he will establish our Gospel in your hearts. that is, what is accomplished, that is, the pagans, completely, instead of the grace that was in one people and glorified by one people, - grace, having multiplied, due to the thanksgiving of many, increased to the glory of God. 2 Cor.4:16. Therefore, let us not lose heart from persecution from outside and from one’s own sorrows, for although external... man... ours is destroyed fasts, vigils and daily wounds inflicted on him, but... internal... is updated... from day to day. For although we now endure slight suffering and torment, the glory that we have to receive is eternal; since we do not look at those things that are visible, which are temporary, but at those things that are invisible, which remain forever (2 Cor. 4:17-18).
