| 14 But thanks be to God, who always brings triumph to us in Christ Jesus, and who manifests the fragrance of his knowledge through us in every place. 15 For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ for God, both with those who are being saved and with those who are perishing. 16 To the one, certainly, the fragrance is of death unto death. But to the other, the fragrance is of life unto life. And concerning these things, who is so suitable? 17 For we are not like many others, adulterating the Word of God. 665 But instead, we speak with sincerity: from God, before God, and in Christ. |
| 1 Must we begin again to commend ourselves? Or are we in need (as some are) of epistles of commendation for you, or from you? 2 You are our Epistle, written in our hearts, which is known and read by all men. 3 It has been made manifest that you are the Epistle of Christ, ministered by us, and written down, not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, and not on tablets of stone, but on the fleshly tablets of the heart. 4 And we have such faith, through Christ, toward God. 5 It is not that we are adequate to think anything of ourselves, as if anything was from us. But our adequacy is from God. 6 And he has made us suitable ministers of the New Testament, not in the letter, but in the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 But if the ministration of death, engraved with letters upon stones, was in glory, (so much so that the sons of Israel were not able to gaze intently upon the face of Moses, because of the glory of his countenance) even though this ministration was ineffective, 8 how could the ministration of the Spirit not be in greater glory? 9 For if the ministration of condemnation is with glory, so much more is the ministration of justice abundant in glory. 10 And neither was it glorified by means of an excellent glory, though it was made illustrious in its own way. 11 For if even what was temporary has its glory, then what is lasting has an even greater glory. 12 Therefore, having such a hope, we act with much confidence, 13 and not as Moses did, in placing a veil over his face, so that the sons of Israel would not gaze intently at his face. This was ineffective, 14 for their minds were obtuse. And, even until this present day, the very same veil, in the readings from the Old Testament, remains not taken away (though, in Christ, it is taken away). 15 But even until today, when Moses is read, a veil is still set over their hearts. 16 But when they will have been converted to the Lord, then the veil shall be taken away. 17 Now the Spirit is Lord. And wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 Yet truly, all of us, as we gaze upon the unveiled glory of the face of the Lord, are transfigured into the same image, from one glory to another. And this is done by the Spirit of the Lord. |
| 1 Therefore, since we have this ministry, and in as much as we have obtained mercy for ourselves, we are not inadequate. 2 For we renounce dishonorable and hidden acts, not walking by craftiness, nor by adulterating the Word of God. Instead, by the manifestation of truth, we commend ourselves to the conscience of each man before God. 3 But if our Gospel is in some way hidden, it is hidden to those who are perishing. 4 As for them, the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, would not shine in them. 5 For we are not preaching about ourselves, but about Jesus Christ our Lord. We are merely your servants through Jesus. 6 For God, who told the light to shine out of darkness, has shined a light into our hearts, to illuminate the knowledge of the splendor of God, in the person of Christ Jesus. 7 But we hold this treasure in earthen vessels, so that what is sublime may be of the power of God, and not of us. 8 In all things, we endure tribulation, yet we are not in anguish. We are constrained, yet we are not destitute. 9 We suffer persecution, yet we have not been abandoned. We are thrown down, yet we do not perish. 10 We ever carry around the mortification of Jesus in our bodies, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11 For we who live are ever handed over unto death for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 Therefore, death is at work in us, and life is at work in you. 13 But we have the same Spirit of faith. And just as it is written, “I believed, and for that reason I spoke,” so we also believe, and for that reason, we also speak. 14 For we know that the One who raised up Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus and will place us with you. 15 Thus, all is for you, so that grace, abounding through many in thanksgiving, may abound to the glory of God. 16 For this reason, we are not insufficient. But it is as though our outer man is corrupted, while our inner man is renewed from day to day. 17 For though our tribulation is, at the present time, brief and light, it accomplishes in us the weight of a sublime eternal glory, beyond measure. 18 And we are contemplating, not the things that are seen, but the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are temporal, whereas the things that are not seen are eternal. |
| 1 For we know that, when our earthly house of this habitation is dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. 2 And for this reason also, we groan, desiring to be clothed from above with our habitation from heaven. 3 If we are so clothed, then we will not be found to be naked. 4 Then too, we who are in this tabernacle groan under the burden, because we do not want to be stripped, but rather to be clothed from above, so that what is mortal may be absorbed by life. 5 Now the One who accomplishes this very thing in us is God, who has given us the pledge of the Spirit. 6 Therefore, we are ever confident, knowing that, while we are in the body, we are on a pilgrimage in the Lord. 7 For we walk by means of faith, and not by sight. 8 So we are confident, and we have the good will to be on a pilgrimage in the body, so as to be present to the Lord. 9 And thus we struggle, whether absent or present, to please him. 10 For it is necessary for us to be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive the proper things of the body, according to his behavior, whether it was good or evil. 11 Therefore, having knowledge of the fear of the Lord, we appeal to men, but we are made manifest before God. Yet I hope, too, that we may be made manifest in your consciences. 12 We are not commending ourselves again to you, but rather we are presenting you with an opportunity to glory because of us, when you deal with those who glory in face, and not in heart. 13 For if we are excessive in mind, it is for God; but if we are sober, it is for you. 14 For the charity of Christ urges us on, in consideration of this: that if one died for all, then all have died. 15 And Christ died for all, so that even those who live might not now live for themselves, but for him who died for them and who rose again. 16 And so, from now on, we know no one according to the flesh. And though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him in this way no longer. 17 So if anyone is a new creature in Christ, what is old has passed away. Behold, all things have been made new. 18 But all is of God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation. 19 For certainly God was in Christ, reconciling the 666 world to himself, not charging them with their sins. And he has placed in us the Word of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, so that God is exhorting through us. We beseech you for Christ: be reconciled to God. 21 For God made him who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the justice of God in him. |
| 1 But, as a help to you, we exhort you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For he says: “In a favorable time, I heeded you; and on the day of salvation, I helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 3 May we never give offense to anyone, so that our ministry may not be disparaged. 4 But in all things, let us exhibit ourselves as ministers of God with great patience: through tribulation, difficulties, and distress; 5 despite wounds, imprisonment, and rebellion; with hard work, vigilance, and fasting; 6 by chastity, knowledge, and longsuffering; in pleasantness, in the Holy Spirit, and in unfeigned charity; 7 with the Word of truth, with the power of God, and with the armor of justice to the right and to the left; 8 through honor and dishonor, despite good reports and bad, whether seen as deceivers or truth-tellers, whether ignored or acknowledged; 9 as if dying and yet truly alive; as if chastised and yet not subdued; 10 as if sorrowful and yet always rejoicing; as if needy and yet enriching many; as if having nothing and possessing everything. 11 Our mouth is open to you, O Corinthians; our heart is enlarged. 12 You are not narrowed by us, but it is by your own inner selves that you are narrowed. 13 But since we have the same recompense, (I am speaking as if to my own sons), you, too, should be enlarged. 14 Do not choose to bear the yoke with unbelievers. For how can justice be a participant with iniquity? Or how can the fellowship of light be a participant with darkness? 15 And how can Christ join together with Belial? Or what part do the faithful have with the unfaithful? 16 And what consensus does the temple of God have with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, just as God says: “I will dwell with them, and I will walk among them. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Because of this, you must depart from their midst and be separate, says the Lord. And do not touch what is unclean. 18 Then I will accept you. And I will be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.” |
