Peshitta New Testament

Peshitta New Testament — Murdock — Section 101

Therefore, we are not weary in this ministry IV. which we have received, according to the mercies that have been upon us : (2) Bat we have renounced 2 the concealments of dishonor, and we walk not in craftiness, nor do we treat the word of God deceit- fully ; but by the manifestation of the truth, we ex- hibit ourselves to all the consciences of men before God. — (3) And if our gospel* is vailed, it is vailed 3 to them that perish ; (-i) to them whose minds the 4 God of this world hath blinded, in order that they might not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of the Messiah (who is the likeness of God) should dawn upon them. (5) For it is not ourselves 5 that we preach, but the Messiah, Jesus our Lord; 2 CORINTHIANS, V. 331 and, as to oarselves, that we are your servants for 6 Jesus' sake. (6) Because Grod, who commanded the light to arise from darkness, hath himself sliined in our hearts, that we might be illuminated with the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus 7 the Messiah, — (7) But we have this treasure in an earthen vessel, that the excellency of the power^ 8 might be from God, and not from us. (8) And in every thing we are oppressed, but not suffocated ; 9 we are corrected, but not condemned ; (9) we are persecuted, but not forsaken ; Ave are prostrated, but 10 perish not. (10) For we bear in our body, at all times, the dying of Jesus ; that the life also of Jesus 11 might be manifested in our bod}^ (11) For if Ave are delivered over alive unto death, for Jesus' sake, even so also Avill the life of Jesus be manifested in 12 this our mortal body. — (12) Noav therefore, in us 13 death is active, but in you, life. (13) Having there- fore the same spirit of faith, — (as it is Avritlen, I believed, therefore also have I spoken,) Ave also 14 believe, and therefore speak ; (14) knoAving that he, Avho resuscitated our Lord Jesus, Avill also resusci- tate us by Jesus, and will receive us, with you, to 15 himself (15) For all things are for your sakes, that Avhile grace aboundeth by means of many, thanks- giving may abound to the glory of God.
