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

¹Halacotz, ministerio haur dugularic recebitu dugun misericordiaren arauez, ezgara naguitzen.

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.

²Aitzitic iraitzi ditugu ahalquezco estalquiac, ebilten garela ez fineciarequin, eta ez Iaincoaren hitza falsificatzen dugula, baina eguiaren declarationez approba eraciten ditugula gure buruäc guiçonén conscientia gucia baithan, Iaincoaren aitzinean.

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

³Eta baldin gure Euangelioa estalia bada, galtzen diradenén da estalia:

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.

⁴Ceinétan mundu hunetaco iaincoac itsutu vkan baititu adimenduac, diot, infideletan, Christ Iaincoaren imagina denaren gloriaren Euangelioco arguiac hæy arguiric eztaguiençát.

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

⁵Ecen eztitugu gure buruäc predicatzen, baina Iesus Christ Iauna: eta gu, çuen cerbitzari garela Iesusgatic.

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.

⁶Ecen arguiac ilhumbetic argui leguian erran duen Iaincoac, argui eguin du gure bihotzetan, Iesus Christen beguithartean Iaincoaren gloriaren eçagutzera illuminatzeco.

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

⁷Baina thesaur haur lurrezco vncietan dugu, verthute hunen excellentiá Iaincoaren dençát, eta ez gutaric:

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

⁸Gucietan affligitzen gara, baina ez hertsen: behartzen gara, baina ez vtziten:

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

⁹Persecutatzen gara, baina ez abandonnatzen: iraizten gara, baina ez galtzen.

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.

¹⁰Leku gucietan bethiere Iesus Iaunaren mortificationea gorputzean ekarten dugula Iesusen vicitzea-ere gure gorputzean manifesta dadinçát.

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.

¹¹Ecen gu vici garenoc, bethi heriotara liuratzen gara Iesusgatic, Iesusen vicitzea-ere gure haragui mortalean manifesta dadinçát.

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

¹²Hunegatic herioac gutan lan eguiten du, eta vicitzeac çuetan.

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;

¹³Eta ceren fedearen Spiritu ber-bat baitugu, scribatua den beçala, Sinhetsi vkan dut, eta halacotz minçatu içan naiz: guc-ere sinhesten dugu, eta halacotz minço gara.

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

¹⁴Daquigularic ecen Iesus Iauna resuscitatu duenac gu-ere Iesusez resuscitaturen gaituela, eta ethor eraciren gaituela bere presentiara cuequin batean.

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.

¹⁵Ecen hauc gucioc çuengatic dirade, gratia gucizco handi haur, anhitzen remerciamenduz redunda dadinçát Iaincoaren gloriatan.

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

¹⁶Halacotz, ezgara naguitzen: baina are baldin gure guiçon campocoa corrumpitzen bada-ere: barnecoa ordea arramberritzen da egunetic egunera.

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

¹⁷Ecen gure afflictione arin artegutitacoac eraguiten du gutan gloriataco piçu excellent excellentqui eternalbat.

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.

¹⁸Gauça visibleac consideratzen eztitugunean, baina inuisibleac: ecen visibleac demboratacotz dirade: baina inuisibleac, seculacotz.
