Resurrection Life
Therefore, since through God’s Mercy we have
This ministry, we do not lose heart.
Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the
WORD of GOD
On the contrary, by setting forth the TRUTH plainly
we commend ourselves to
everyone’s conscience in the
Sight of God
And even if our gospelis veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age-has blinded the minds of unbelievers,
so that they cannot
see the light of the
GOSPEL
that displays the
Glory of CHRIST, who is the
image of GOD
For what we preach is not ourselves,
but Jesus Christ as Lord,
and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake
For God,
who said,
“Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine
in our hearts to give us the
light of the knowledge of God’s GLORY
displayed in the face of CHRIST
But we have this treasure in jars of clay
to show that this
all-surpassing power is
from God and not from us
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed,
but not in despair;
persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
We always carry around in our body
the death of Jesus,
so that the life of Jesus may also be
revealed in our body
For we who are alive are always being given
over to death for Jesus’ sake,
so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body
So then, death is at work in us,
but life is at work in you
It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken
Since we have that same spirit of faith,
we also believe and therefore speak
because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself
All this is for your benefit,
so that the grace
that is reaching more and more people may cause
thanksgiving to overflow
to the glory of God
Therefore we
do not lose heart!
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we
ARE being RENEWED day by day
For our LIGHT and momentary troubles
are achieving for us an -eternal- glory
that FAR -outweighs- them ALL
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary,
but what is unseen is
eternal
