Let God's light shine in your life - 2 Corinthians 4:3-10

2 Corinthians 4:3-10

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost (perishing):

4 In whom the god of this world (age) hath blinded (to make blind, darkened) the minds (purpose, thoughts) of them which believe not, lest the light (illumination) of the glorious gospel of Christ (the messiah), who is the image (likeness) of God, should shine unto them.

5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the (as) Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

6 For God, who commanded (spoke) the light (underived and absolute light) to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light (the illumination) 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 (surpassing, throwing beyond) of the power (inherent power) may be of God, and not of us.

8 We are troubled (afflicted) on every side (in every thing), yet not distressed (suffocated as in wrestling); we are perplexed (not knowing which way to turn), but not in despair (altogether without help or means);

9 Persecuted, but not forsaken (abandoned); cast down (to throw or cast down, to strike down), but not destroyed (perished; as persons: put to death; of things: lost or ruined);

10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord (Christ) Jesus, that the life also of (Christ) Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
