2 Коринфянам 4
Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод)
Сокровище в глиняных сосудах
4 Вот почему, имея по милости Всевышнего это служение, мы не отчаиваемся. 2 Мы отвергаем любые нечестные методы, за которые бывает стыдно, мы никого не обманываем и не искажаем слово Всевышнего. Напротив, мы открыто возвещаем истину, и пусть каждый человек судит нас в своей совести перед Всевышним. 3 Если для кого-то Радостная Весть, которую мы возвещаем, и закрыта, то только для тех, кто идёт к погибели, 4 для неверующих, у которых бог этого мира (сатана) ослепил умы, чтобы им не видеть света Радостной Вести о славе Масиха, Который в Самом Себе открывает нам Всевышнего[a]. 5 Ведь мы возвещаем не самих себя, а Ису Масиха как Повелителя, мы же – ваши рабы ради Исы. 6 Потому что Всевышний, сказавший: «Пусть из тьмы воссияет свет»[b], – и Сам есть тот свет, который светит в наших сердцах, давая нам знание славы Всевышнего, которая видна на лице Исы Масиха.
7 Но это сокровище мы носим в глиняных сосудах – наших телах – и показываем, что эта выдающаяся сила исходит не от нас, а от Всевышнего. 8 Нас теснят со всех сторон, но мы не стеснены; мы в отчаянных обстоятельствах, но не в отчаянии; 9 нас преследуют, но мы не покинуты; мы сильно побиты, но не убиты. 10 Будучи постоянно гонимы, мы как бы носим смерть Исы в своём теле, чтобы в нас была явлена и Его жизнь. 11 Мы, живые, всё время предаёмся смерти за Ису, чтобы и жизнь Исы была явлена в наших смертных телах. 12 Смерть совершает свою работу в нас ради того, чтобы в вас совершила свою работу жизнь!
13 А поскольку мы обладаем тем же духом веры – как написано: «Я верил, поэтому я и говорил»[c], – мы тоже верим и поэтому говорим. 14 Мы знаем, что Тот, Кто воскресил Повелителя Ису, воскресит с Исой и нас и поставит перед Собой рядом с вами. 15 Всё это к вашему благу, чтобы благодать, достигающая всё большего и большего числа людей, усиливала благодарность, возносимую во славу Всевышнего.
Жизнь в надежде на небеса
16 Поэтому мы не унываем. Если даже мы изнашиваемся физически, то внутренне мы изо дня в день обновляемся, 17 так как наши лёгкие и временные страдания – ничто по сравнению с весомой и вечной славой, которую они нам приносят. 18 Мы смотрим не на видимое, а на невидимое, потому что видимое временно, а невидимое вечно.
2 Corinto 4
Ang Biblia (1978)
4 Kaya nga sa pagkakaroon namin ng ministeriong (A)ito, ayon sa aming tinanggap na kaawaan, ay hindi kami nanghihina.
2 Bagkus tinanggihan namin ang mga kahiyahiyang bagay na nangatatago, na (B)hindi kami nagsisilakad sa katusuhan, ni nagsisigamit man na may daya ng mga salita ng Dios; kundi sa pagpapahayag ng (C)katotohanan ay (D)ipinagtatagubilin ang aming sarili (E)sa bawa't budhi ng mga tao sa harapan ng Dios.
3 At kung ang aming evangelio ay (F)natatalukbungan pa, ay may talukbong sa mga napapahamak:
4 Na binulag (G)ng dios ng sanglibutang ito ang mga pagiisip ng mga hindi nagsisisampalataya, upang sa kanila'y huwag sumilang ang kaliwanagan ng evangelio ng kaluwalhatian ni Cristo, (H)na siyang larawan ng Dios.
5 Sapagka't (I)hindi namin ipinangangaral ang aming sarili, kundi si Cristo Jesus na Panginoon, (J)at kami ay gaya ng inyong mga alipin dahil kay Cristo.
6 Yamang ang Dios, ang nagsabi, (K)Magniningning ang ilaw sa kadiliman, na siyang nagningning sa aming mga puso, upang magbigay ng liwanag ng pagkakilala sa kaluwalhatian ng Dios sa mukha ni Jesucristo.
7 Nguni't taglay namin ang kayamanang ito sa mga sisidlang-lupa, (L)upang ang dakilang kalakhan ng kapangyarihan ay maging mula sa Dios, at huwag mula sa aming sarili;
8 Sa magkabikabila ay (M)nangagigipit kami, gayon ma'y hindi nangaghihinagpis; nangatitilihan, gayon ma'y hindi nangawawalan ng pagasa;
9 (N)Pinaguusig, gayon ma'y hindi pinababayaan; inilulugmok, gayon ma'y hindi nangasisira;
10 Laging saan ma'y (O)tinataglay sa katawan ang kamatayan ni Jesus, (P)upang ang buhay ni Jesus ay mahayag naman sa aming katawan.
11 Sapagka't kaming nangabubuhay ay (Q)laging ibinibigay sa kamatayan dahil kay Jesus, upang ang buhay naman ni Jesus ay mahayag sa aming lamang may kamatayan.
12 Kaya nga ang kamatayan ay gumagawa sa amin, datapuwa't ang buhay ay sa inyo.
13 Nguni't yamang mayroong gayon ding espiritu ng pananampalataya, na gaya ng nasusulat, (R)Sumampalataya ako, at kaya't nagsalita ako; kami naman ay nagsisisampalataya, at kaya't kami naman ay nangagsasalita;
14 Na aming nalalaman na ang bumuhay na maguli sa Panginoong Jesus ay siya ring bubuhay na maguli sa amin na kalakip ni Jesus, at ihaharap kaming kasama ninyo.
15 Sapagka't ang (S)lahat ng mga bagay ay dahil sa inyo, upang ang biyaya na (T)pinarami sa pamamagitan ng marami, ay siyang magpasagana ng pagpapasalamat sa ikaluluwalhati ng Dios.
16 Kaya nga (U)hindi kami nanghihimagod; bagama't ang aming pagkataong labas ay pahina, nguni't (V)ang aming pagkataong loob ay nababago sa araw-araw.
17 Sapagka't ang aming magaang kapighatian, (W)na sa isang sangdali lamang, ay siyang gumagawa sa amin ng lalo't lalong bigat ng kaluwalhatiang walang hanggan;
18 Samantalang kami ay nagsisitingin hindi (X)sa mga bagay na nangakikita, kundi sa mga bagay na hindi nangakikita: sapagka't ang mga bagay na nangakikita ay may katapusan; datapuwa't ang mga bagay na hindi nangakikita ay walang hanggan.
2 Corinthians 4
King James Version
4 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not 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.
2 Corinthians 4
New King James Version
The Light of Christ’s Gospel
4 Therefore, since we have this ministry, (A)as we have received mercy, we (B)do not lose heart. 2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor [a]handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth (C)commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But even if our gospel is veiled, (D)it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds (E)the god of this age (F)has blinded, who do not believe, lest (G)the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, (H)who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5 (I)For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and (J)ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For it is the God (K)who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has (L)shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Cast Down but Unconquered
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, (M)that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are (N)hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not (O)forsaken; (P)struck down, but not destroyed— 10 (Q)always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, (R)that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live (S)are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death is working in us, but life in you.
13 And since we have (T)the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, (U)“I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, 14 knowing that (V)He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. 15 For (W)all things are for your sakes, that (X)grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
Seeing the Invisible
16 Therefore we (Y)do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is (Z)being renewed day by day. 17 For (AA)our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 (AB)while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
