3. Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying;
4. 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 Messiah, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.
5. For we don’t proclaim ourselves, but Messiah Yeshua as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Yeshua’s sake;
6. seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Yeshua the Messiah.
7. But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.
8. We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
9. pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
10. always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Yeshua, that the life of Yeshua may also be revealed in our body.
11. For we who live are always delivered to death for Yeshua’s sake, that the life also of Yeshua may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
12. So then death works in us, but life in you.
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;
14. knowing that he who raised the Lord Yeshua will raise us also with Yeshua, and will present us with you.
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.
