The Light of the Gospel

1 Therefore, having ^lthis ministry ^mby the mercy of God, ^{▼▼Greek as we have received mercy} we do not lose heart.

2 Corinthians 4:8-14

8 We are ^oafflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but ^pnot forsaken; ^qstruck down, but not destroyed; 10 ^ralways carrying in the body the death of Jesus, ^sso that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So ^tdeath is at work in us, but life in you.

13 Since we have ^uthe same spirit of faith according to what has been written, ^v“I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak, 14 knowing that ^whe who raised the Lord Jesus ^xwill raise us also with Jesus and ^ybring us with you into his presence.

2 Corinthians 4:16

16 So we do not lose heart. ^zThough our outer self ^{▼▼Greek man} is wasting away, ^abour inner self ^acis being renewed day by day.

8 For ^adby grace you have been saved ^aethrough faith. And this is ^afnot your own doing; ^agit is the gift of God,
