004:004 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. 004:005 For we don't preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake; 004:006 seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness,"{Genesis 1:3} who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 004:007 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves. 004:008 We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair; 004:009 pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed; 004:010 always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 004:011 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh. 004:012 So then death works in us, but life in you. 004:013 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke."{Psalm 116:10} We also believe, and therefore also we speak; 004:014 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you. 004:015 For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God. 004:016 Therefore we don't faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. 004:017 For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory; 004:018 while we don't look 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. 005:001 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. 005:002 For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven; 005:003 if so be that being clothed we will not be found naked. 005:004 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 005:005 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit. 005:006 Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord; 005:007 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
