¹Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not:

¹O Del ande pesko lashimos, dia ame kadia buchi, ai anda kodia chi xasaras zor.

²but 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.

²Shudiam le dieli le chorhe kai kerdionas chordanes, ai chi keras buchi bi malades, ai chi parhuvas E Vorba le Devleski. Numa phenas o chachimos, ai ame tasame angla sako manush te dikhen amaro traio kai thodiam angla Del.

³And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish:

³Numa te si e lashi viasta kai phenas garadi, garadi la ferdi kodolenge kai xzasavon.

⁴in whom the god of this world hath 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 [upon them].

⁴Chi pachanpe ke O Del o nasul kadala lumiako korhardia lenge goji, kodo del (o beng) chi mekel le te dikhen e vediara kai si andini katar e lashi viasta le Kristosko kai phenel pa lesko barimos, wo si o patreto le Devlesko.

⁵For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

⁵Ke chi das duma pa amende; numa das duma pa Jesus Kristo le Devles; ai ame jinas ame sar tumare slugi pala Kristo.

⁶Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall 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.

⁶O Del kai phendia, "Te strefial e vediara mashkar o tuniariko," ai vi kado si, kai kerdia te strefial peski vediara ande amare ile, te zhanas e vediara kai si o barimos le Devlesko, kai strefial po mui le Jesus Kristosko.

⁷But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;

⁷Numa ame kai ingeras kodo barvalimos le Devlesko, sam sar kanta chikaki, te sai dichol mishto ke kodia putiera e bari si le Devleski, ai na amari.

⁸[we are] pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;

⁸But chinuimata si pe amende, numa chi sam licharde; nekezhisaras, numa chi rimovsavas;

⁹pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;

⁹Chinuin ame, numa O Del chi mekel ame, shudiam tele, numa na xasarde.

¹⁰always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body.

¹⁰Si ame sagda ande amaro stato e martia le Jesus Kristoski, saxke te sikadiol lesko traio ande amaro stato.

¹¹For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

¹¹Ande amaro traio sagda sam angla e martia pala Kristo, saxke lesko traio te sikadiol ande amaro stato kai merel.

¹²So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

¹²E martia kerel buchi ande amende; numa o traio kerel buchi ande tumende.

¹³But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, and therefore did I speak; we also believe, and therefore also we speak;

¹³E Vorba le Devleski mothol, "Pachaie ma, anda kodia dem duma." Vi ame ande sa kodo duxo pachamasko pachas ame, ai anda kodo das duma.

¹⁴knowing that he that raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you.

¹⁴Zhanas ke O Del, kai andia le Devles O Jesus katar e martia ka traio, anela iamen ka traio le Kristosa, ai kerela ame te sikadiuas tumensa angla leste.

¹⁵For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound unto the glory of God.

¹⁵Sa kadia tumenge; saxke o lashimos le Devlesko aresel te skepil mai bute manushen, saxke mai but rhugimata naisimaske te aven angla barimos le Devlesko.

¹⁶Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

¹⁶Anda kodia shoxar chi xasaras zor. Marka ke rimolape amaro stato xantsi po xantsi, amaro traio kai dia ame O Del neviol swako dies.

¹⁷For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

¹⁷Ke amaro chinuria le tsinorhe, kai si ame akana, lasharen amenge iek mai baro lashimos kai chi mai getolpe, but mai but ke so chinuisaras.

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.

¹⁸Ke chi las sama pel dieli kai dichon, numa pel dieli kai chi dichon: so dichol ferdi xantsi vriama inkerel, numa so chi dichol inkerel sagda.
