2 Corinto 4
Magandang Balita Biblia

Kayamanang Espirituwal sa Sisidlang Yari sa Putik

4 Dahil sa habag ng Diyos, ibinigay niya sa amin ang paglilingkod na ito kaya't hindi humihina ang aming loob. 2 Tinalikuran namin ang lahat ng lihim at kahiya-hiyang gawain. Hindi kami nanloloko ng mga tao, at hindi namin pinipilipit ang salita ng Diyos. Sa halip, hayagan naming ipinapangaral ang katotohanan. Kaya't maaari kaming suriin ninuman sa harapan ng Diyos.

3 Kung may talukbong pa ang Magandang Balitang ipinapahayag namin, ito'y may talukbong lamang sa mga napapahamak. 4 Hindi sila sumasampalataya sapagkat ang kanilang isip ay binulag ng diyos ng kasamaan sa daigdig na ito, upang hindi nila makita ang liwanag ng Magandang Balita tungkol sa kaluwalhatian ni Cristo na siyang larawan ng Diyos. 5 Hindi namin ipinapangaral ang aming sarili, kundi si Cristo Jesus bilang Panginoon. At kami ay lingkod ninyo alang-alang kay Jesus. 6 Sapagkat(A) ang Diyos na nag-utos na magkaroon ng liwanag sa gitna ng kadiliman ay siya ring nagbigay liwanag sa aming isip upang makilala namin ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos na nahahayag sa mukha ni Cristo.

7 Ngunit kaming pinagkalooban ng kayamanang espirituwal na ito ay tulad sa mga palayok na gawa sa putik, upang ipakilala na ang dakilang kapangyarihang ito ay sa Diyos, at hindi sa amin. 8 Kabi-kabilaan ang pagpapahirap sa amin, ngunit hindi kami nalulupig. Kung minsa'y nababagabag, ngunit hindi kami nawawalan ng pag-asa. 9 Inuusig kami, ngunit hindi pinababayaan. Napapatumba kami, ngunit hindi lubusang nailulugmok. 10 Lagi naming taglay sa aming katawan ang kamatayan ni Jesus, upang sa pamamagitan ng aming katawan ay mahayag ang kanyang buhay. 11 Habang kami'y nabubuhay, lagi kaming nabibingit sa kamatayan alang-alang kay Jesus upang sa aming katawang may kamatayan ay mahayag ang kanyang buhay. 12 Kaya't habang nagwawagi sa amin ang kamatayan, nagwawagi naman sa inyo ang buhay.

13 Sinasabi(B) ng kasulatan, “Nagsalita ako sapagkat ako'y sumampalataya.” Sa ganoon ding diwa ng pananampalataya, nagsasalita kami dahil kami'y sumasampalataya. 14 Sapagkat alam naming ang Diyos na muling bumuhay sa Panginoong Jesus ay siya ring bubuhay sa amin kasama si Jesus, at magdadala sa atin sa kanyang piling. 15 Ang lahat ng pagtitiis ko ay para sa kapakanan ninyo upang sa pagdami ng mga nakakatanggap ng kagandahang-loob ng Diyos, lalo pang dumami ang magpapasalamat sa ikaluluwalhati niya.

Nabubuhay sa Pananampalataya

16 Kaya't hindi kami nasisiraan ng loob. Kahit na humihina ang aming katawang-lupa, patuloy namang pinalalakas ang aming espiritu araw-araw. 17 Ang bahagya at panandaliang kapighatiang dinaranas namin ngayon ay magbubunga ng kagalakang walang hanggan at walang katulad. 18 Kaya't ang paningin namin ay nakatuon sa mga bagay na di-nakikita, at hindi sa mga bagay na nakikita. Sapagkat panandalian lamang ang mga bagay na nakikita, ngunit walang hanggan ang mga bagay na di-nakikita.

2 Corinthians 4
Disciples’ Literal New Testament

So We Don’t Lose Heart In This Ministry Or Its Reception; God Is Shining Through Us

4 For this reason, having this ministry even-as[a] we received-mercy, we do not lose-heart. 2 But we renounced the hidden things of [b] shame, not walking in craftiness[c], nor handling-deceitfully[d] the word of God, but by the open-disclosure of the truth, commending[e] ourselves to every conscience of mankind[f] in the sight of God. 3 And if indeed our good-news is veiled, it is veiled in the ones perishing, 4 in whose case the god of this age blinded the minds of the unbelievers so that they might not see[g] the illumination of the good-news of the glory of Christ— Who is the image of God. 5 For we are not proclaiming ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for the sake of Jesus, 6 because God, the One having said “Light will shine out of darkness”, is He Who shined in our hearts for[h] the illumination of [i] the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

God Is Making Life Known Through Clay Vessels Handed Over To Death

7 But[j] we have this treasure in vessels made-of-clay, in order that the excess[k] of the power may be God’s and not from us— 8 in every way being afflicted[l] but not restrained[m], being perplexed but not utterly-perplexed, 9 being persecuted but not forsaken, being struck down but not perishing; 10 at-all-times carrying-around in our body the dying[n] of Jesus in order that the life of Jesus may also be made-evident[o] in our body. 11 For we the ones living are always being handed-over to death for the sake of Jesus, in order that the life of Jesus may also be made-evident in our mortal flesh. 12 So then, death is at-work in us, but life in you.

But We Believe And Speak Because We Know God Will Raise Us Up With Jesus

13 But having the same spirit[p] of faith in accordance with the thing having been written, “I believed, therefore I spoke” [Ps 116:10]— we also believe, therefore we also speak, 14 knowing that the One having raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus, and will present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes— in order that grace, having increased through the more people, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

And Our Affliction Is Producing an Eternal Weight of Glory For Us In Heaven

16 Therefore we do not lose-heart. But even though our outer person is being destroyed[q], nevertheless our inner person is being renewed day in and day out. 17 For the momentary lightness of our affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory extremely beyond measure, 18 while we are not looking-for[r] the things being seen, but the things not being seen. For the things being seen are temporary, but the things not being seen are eternal.
