¹Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,

¹ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܐܢܐ ܠܢ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܐܚܝܕܝܢܢ ܐܝܟ ܪܚܡܐ ܕܗܘܘ ܥܠܝܢ ܀

²but did renounce for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves unto every conscience of men, before God;

²ܐܠܐ ܐܤܠܝܢܢ ܟܤܝܬܗ ܕܒܗܬܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢܢ ܒܚܪܥܘܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܟܠܝܢܢ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܓܠܝܘܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܡܚܘܝܢܢ ܢܦܫܢ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܀

³and if also our good news is vailed, in those perishing it is vailed,

³ܘܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܟܤܝ ܗܘ ܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܕܝܠܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܒܕܝܢ ܗܘ ܡܟܤܝ ܀

⁴in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God;

⁴ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܥܘܪ ܡܕܥܝܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܕܢܚ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܘܗܪܗ ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܕܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܕܡܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁵for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus — Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus;

⁵ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܦܫܢ ܡܟܪܙܝܢܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܪܢ ܠܢܦܫܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܚܢܢ ܡܛܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܀

⁶because [it is] God who said, Out of darkness light [is] to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁶ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܡܢ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܢܕܢܚ ܗܘ ܕܢܚ ܒܠܒܘܬܢ ܕܢܬܢܗܪ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

⁷And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us;

⁷ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܕܝܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܒܡܐܢܐ ܕܚܨܦܐ ܕܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܢܢ ܀

⁸on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened; perplexed, but not in despair;

⁸ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܡܬܐܠܨܝܢܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܚܢܩܝܢܢ ܡܬܛܪܦܝܢܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܚܝܒܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܀

⁹persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

⁹ܡܬܪܕܦܝܢܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܬܒܩܝܢܢ ܡܤܬܚܦܝܢܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܐܒܕܝܢܢ ܀

¹⁰at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested,

¹⁰ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܡܝܬܘܬܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܒܦܓܪܝܢ ܫܩܝܠܝܢܢ ܕܐܦ ܚܝܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܒܦܓܪܝܢ ܢܬܓܠܘܢ ܀

¹¹for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh,

¹¹ܐܢ ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܚܝܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܡܫܬܠܡܝܢܢ ܡܛܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܝܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܢܬܓܠܘܢ ܒܦܓܪܢ ܗܢܐ ܕܡܐܬ ܀

¹²so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in you.

¹²ܗܫܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܒܢ ܡܬܚܦܛ ܘܚܝܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܀

¹³And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that which hath been written, `I believed, therefore I did speak;` we also do believe, therefore also do we speak;

¹³ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܚܕܐ ܗܝ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܗܝܡܢܬ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܡܠܠܬ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܡܡܠܠܝܢܢ ܀

¹⁴knowing that He who did raise up the Lord Jesus, us also through Jesus shall raise up, and shall present with you,

¹⁴ܘܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܠܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܦ ܠܢ ܒܝܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܢܩܝܡ ܘܢܩܪܒܢ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܀

¹⁵for the all things [are] because of you, that the grace having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the more, may abound to the glory of God;

¹⁵ܟܠܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܟܕ ܡܬܝܬܪܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܒܝܕ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܬܤܓܐ ܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܠܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹⁶wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;

¹⁶ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܐܢܐ ܠܢ ܐܦ ܐܢ ܒܪܢܫܢ ܓܝܪ ܒܪܝܐ ܡܬܚܒܠ ܐܠܐ ܕܡܢ ܠܓܘ ܡܬܚܕܬ ܝܘܡ ܡܢ ܝܘܡ ܀

¹⁷for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us —

¹⁷ܐܘܠܨܢܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܟܕ ܛܒ ܙܥܘܪ ܘܩܠܝܠ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܠܐ ܤܟܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܡܛܝܒ ܠܢ ܀

¹⁸we not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen [are] temporary, but the things not seen [are] age-during.

¹⁸ܕܠܐ ܚܕܝܢܢ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܚܙܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܝܢ ܕܡܬܚܙܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܐܢܝܢ ܀
