1Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
1Sellepärast et meil on selline amet, nagu see on antud meile halastuse kaudu, me ei tüdi ära.
2But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
2Me oleme lahti öelnud häbiväärseist asjust, mida peidetakse, me ei kasuta riukaid ega moonuta Jumala sõna, vaid esitame end tõe avaldamisega kõikide inimeste südametunnistusele Jumala ees.
3But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
3Kui meie evangeelium on siiski kinni kaetud, siis on see kinni kaetud neile, kes hukkuvad,
4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
4neile uskmatuile, kellel praeguse aja jumal on mõtted sõgestanud, nii et neile ei koida evangeeliumi valgus Kristuse kirkuses, kes on Jumala kuju.
5For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
5Me ei kuuluta ju iseendid, vaid Jeesust Kristust Issandana, endid aga teie sulastena Jeesuse pärast.
6For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
6Sest see, kes ütles: 'Pimedusest paistku valgus!', on Jumal, kes on hakanud särama meie südames, et tekiks tunnetuse valgus Jeesuse Kristuse isikus olevast Jumala kirkusest.
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
7See aare on meil aga saviastjates, et võrratult suur vägi oleks Jumala oma ja ei midagi meist.
8We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
8Meid ahistatakse igati, kuid me ei ole kitsikuses; me oleme nõutud, kuid mitte meeleheitel;
9Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
9meid kiusatakse taga, kuid me pole hüljatud; meid rõhutakse maha, kuid me ei hukku;
10Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
10me kanname alati oma ihus Jeesuse surma, et ka Jeesuse elu avalduks meie ihus.
11For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
11Sest meid, kes me elame, antakse alatasa surma Jeesuse pärast, et ka Jeesuse elu avalduks meie surelikus ihus.
12So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
12Nii on surm tegev meis, elu aga teis.
13We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
13Aga et meil on sellesama usu vaim, millest on kirjutatud: 'Ma usun, seepärast ma räägin', siis meiegi usume ja ka räägime,
14Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
14teades, et see, kes äratas üles Issanda Jeesuse, äratab meidki koos Jeesusega üles ja seab enda ette koos teiega.
15For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
15Kõik sünnib ju teie heaks, et arm üha enamate inimeste tänu kaudu rohkenedes kasvaks Jumala austuseks.
16For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
16Seepärast me ei tüdi, vaid kuigi meie väline inimene kulub, uueneb seesmine inimene ometi päev-päevalt.
17For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
17Sest see praeguse hetke kerge ahistus saavutab meile määratult suure igavese au,
18While we look not 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.
18meile, kes me ei pea silmas nähtavat, vaid nähtamatut, sest nähtav on mööduv, nähtamatu aga igavene.
