4:1 The treasure placed in human containers

4So because we have this ministry as a result of God’s mercy, we’re not discouraged 2but rather, we have renounced any shameful things that were hidden and continue our spiritual journey. Avoiding deception and taking care not to distort God’s message, we present the truth clearly even as we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience before God. 3But even if our good message is concealed, it’s concealed from those who are perishing. 4The god of this age has blinded the thinking of the unbelievers so that the light of the good message about the greatness of the messiah who’s God’s image, doesn’t radiate out to them, 5because it’s not us ourselves that we’re proclaiming, but the master Yeshua Messiah. We serve as your slaves because of him, 6[ref]because the God who said, ‘Light will be shining out of the darkness’, shined in our hearts so that we could experience God’s greatness in the face of Yeshua Messiah.

7So we have this treasure stored in containers made from the dirt, so that the excellence of the power will be from God and not from us ourselves. 8We might be oppressed but we won’t be crushed, perplexed but we won’t despair, 9persecuted but we won’t be abandoned, and struck down but we won’t perish. 10We always carry around in our bodies the death of Yeshua, so that the life of Yeshua may also be revealed in our bodies, 11because we who are alive are always being given over to death for Yeshua’s sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal bodies. 12So then, death is working in us, but life is working in all of you.

13[ref]We have the same spirit of faith as what’s written: ‘I believed, therefore I talked about it.’ We also believe so we also talk about it, 14knowing that the one who brought Yeshua back to life, will also bring us back to life along with Yeshua, and will be presenting us along with all of you. 15All of this is for you, so that after experiencing much grace, you all will be even more thankful and thus honour God.


4Because_of this having the service this, as we_were_shown_mercy, not we_are_losing_heart.
2But we_renounced the hidden things of_ the _shame, neither walking in craftiness, nor falsifying the message of_ the _god, but the by_manifestation of_the truth, commending ourselves to every conscience of_people before the god.
3But if also is having_been_concealed the good_message of_us, in the ones perishing it_is having_been_concealed, 4in whom the god of_ the _age this blinded the thinking of_the unbelievers, in_order that not to_radiate the enlightenment of_the good_message of_the glory of_the chosen_one/messiah, who is the_image of_ the _god.
5For/Because not ourselves we_are_proclaiming, but Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen_one/messiah the_master, and ourselves slaves of_you_all because_of Yaʸsous.
6Because the god which having_said:
Out_of darkness light will_be_shining, who shined in the hearts of_us, because/for enlightenment of_the knowledge of_the glory of_ the _god in the_face of_Yaʸsous chosen_one/messiah.
7But we_are_having the treasure this in earthen vessels, in_order_that the excellent of_the power may_be of_ the _god, and not from us, 8in everything being_oppressed, but not being_crushed, perplexing, but not despairing, 9being_persecuted, but not being_abandoned, being_struck_down, but not perishing, 10always the death of_ the _Yaʸsous in our body carrying_about, in_order_that also the life of_ the _Yaʸsous in the body of_us may_be_revealed.
11For/Because always we, the ones living, to death are_being_given_over because_of Yaʸsous, in_order_that also the life of_the of_Yaʸsous may_be_revealed in the mortal flesh of_us.
12So_then the death in us is_working, but the life in you_all.
13But having the same spirit of_ the _faith, according_to the message having_been_written:
I_believed, therefore I_spoke, also we are_believing, therefore also we_are_speaking,
14having_known that the one having_raised the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), also us with Yaʸsous will_be_raising, and will_be_presenting us with you_all.
15For/Because the things all are because_of you_all, in_order_that the grace having_been_plentiful through the more, the thanksgiving may_be_plentiful to the glory of_ the _god.
