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

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.

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

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

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.

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 don’t preach 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 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.

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 clay 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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 to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed 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 works 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 I spoke.” Psalm 116:10 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 who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will 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 to 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.

¹⁶Therefore we don’t faint, 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, works 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 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.

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.
