1 For this reason, having this service, just as we have received mercy we do not falter.2 Rather, we renounce the covers of disgrace, not walking in villainy nor disguising the word of Yahweh; but in the manifestation of truth, establishing ourselves against all consciences of men in the presence of Yahweh.3 And if then our good message is covered, by those being destroyed it is covered;4 by whom the 'god' of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, for not to shine the light of the good message of the honor of the Anointed, who are the image of Yahweh.5 We do not proclaim ourselves, but Prince Yahshua Christ; and of ourselves, your bondmen for the sake of Yahshua.6 Because Yahweh speaking out of darkness shines forth light, which has shone in our hearts, for illumination of the knowledge of the honor of Yahweh in the person of Yahshua Christ.7 Now we have this treasure in earthen vessels, in order that the greatness of the power would be of Yahweh, and not from us.8 Being oppressed in every way, but not crushed; being without means, but not destitute;9 being persecuted, but not abandoned; being cast down, but not destroyed;10 at all times bearing about the death of Yahshua in the body, in order that also the life of Yahshua in our body may be manifested.11 Always we who live with death are delivered for the sake of Yahshua, in order that also the life of Yahshua may be manifest in our mortal flesh;12 consequently death operates in us, and life in you;13 but having the same Spirit of the faith, in accordance with that which has been written: "I have believed, therefore I have spoken;" we also believe, therefore we also speak;14 because knowing that he who raised Prince Yahshua, also will raise us with Yahshua, and will be present with you.15 All things are for the sake of you, in order that the favor, abounding over the greater number, would exceed the thankfulness to the honor of Yahweh.16 On which account we do not falter, rather then if our outer man is being destroyed, then our inner is being restored day by day.17 For the present lightness of our tribulation, an exceedingly surpassing eternal abundance of honor is earned by us;18 we not considering the things being seen, but the things not being seen; the things being seen temporary, but the things not being seen eternal.
