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

¹Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.

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

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.

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

³Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish;

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

⁴in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

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

⁵For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake;

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

⁶seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” Genesis 1:3 who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

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

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

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

⁸We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;

⁹ܡܬܪܕܦܝܢܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܬܒܩܝܢܢ ܡܤܬܚܦܝܢܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܐܒܕܝܢܢ ܀

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

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

¹⁰always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

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

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

¹²ܗܫܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܒܢ ܡܬܚܦܛ ܘܚܝܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܀

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

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

¹³But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” Psalm 116:10 We also believe, and therefore also we speak;

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

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

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

¹⁵For 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.

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

¹⁶Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

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

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

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

¹⁸while we don’t look 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.
