| 1 | Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don`t faint. | 2Co 3:6 2Co 3:12 2Co 5:18 Eph 3:7 Eph 3:8 |
| 2 | But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man`s conscience in the sight of God. | 1Co 4:5 |
| 3 | Even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish; | Ro 2:16 1Th 1:5 1Ti 1:11 |
| 4 | in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. | Mt 4:8 Mt 4:9 Jn 12:31 Jn 12:40 Jn 14:30 Jn 16:11 1Co 10:20 Eph 2:2 Eph 6:12 1Jn 5:19 Rev 20:2 Rev 20:3 |
| 5 | For we don`t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus` sake. | Mt 3:11 Jn 1:21-23 Jn 3:27-31 Jn 7:18 Ac 3:12 Ac 3:13 Ac 8:9 Ac 8:10 Ac 10:25 Ac 10:26 Ac 14:11-15 Ro 15:17 Ro 15:18 1Co 1:13-15 1Co 1:23-15 1Co 3:5 1Co 3:6 1Co 10:33 Php 1:15 1Th 2:5 1Th 2:6 Tit 1:11 1Pe 5:2-5 2Pe 2:3 |
| 6 | Seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness," who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. | Gn 1:3 Gn 1:14 Gn 1:15 Ps 74:16 Ps 136:7-9 Isa 45:7 |
| 7 | But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves. | 2Co 4:1 2Co 6:10 Mt 13:44 Mt 13:52 Eph 3:8 Col 1:27 Col 2:3 |
| 8 | We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair; | 2Co 1:8-10 2Co 6:4 2Co 7:5 2Co 11:23-30 |
| 9 | pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed; | Ps 9:10 Ps 22:1 Ps 37:25 Ps 37:28 Isa 62:4 Heb 13:5 |
| 10 | 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. | 2Co 1:5 2Co 1:9 Ro 8:17 Ro 8:18 Ga 6:17 Php 3:10 Php 3:11 Col 1:24 |
| 11 | 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. | Ps 44:22 Ps 141:7 Ro 8:36 1Co 15:31 1Co 15:49 |
| 12 | So then death works in us, but life in you. | 2Co 12:15 2Co 13:9 Ac 20:24 1Co 4:10 Php 2:17 Php 2:30 1Jn 3:16 |
| 13 | But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also believe, and therefore also we speak; | Ac 15:11 Ro 1:12 1Co 12:9 Heb 11:1-40 2Pe 1:1 |
| 14 | knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you. | 2Co 5:1-4 Isa 26:19 Jn 11:25 Jn 11:26 Ro 8:11 1Co 6:14 1Co 15:20-22 1Th 4:14 |
| 15 | 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. | 2Co 1:4-6 Ro 8:28 1Co 3:21-23 Col 1:24 2Ti 2:10 |
| 16 | Therefore we don`t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. | 2Co 4:1 Ps 27:13 Ps 119:81 Isa 40:29 1Co 15:58 |
| 17 | For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory; | 2Co 11:23-28 Ps 30:5 Isa 54:8 Ac 20:23 Ro 8:18 Ro 8:34 Ro 8:37 1Pe 1:6 1Pe 4:7 1Pe 5:10 |
| 18 | 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. | 2Co 5:7 Ro 8:24 Ro 8:25 Heb 11:1 Heb 11:25-27 Heb 12:2 Heb 12:3 |
