of the glory that excelleth.
11
For if that which is done away
was
glorious, much more that which
remaineth
is
glorious.
12
Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13
And not as Moses,
which
put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly
look to the end of that which is abolished:
14
But their minds were blinded: for until this day
remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which
vail
is done away
in Christ.
15
But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16
Nevertheless
when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where
the Spirit of the Lord
is,
there
is
liberty.
18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the
glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory,
even
as by the Spirit of the
Lord.
CHAPTER CORINTHIANS 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 alway 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.
