G3588–ὁ–ho

Nay, we have renounced the secrecy which marks a feeling of shame. We practice no cunning tricks, nor do we adulterate God's Message. But by a full clear statement of the truth we strive to commend ourselves in the presence of God to every human conscien

τὰ ta “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τὸν ton “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τῇ tēa “by the”τῆς tēs “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

If, however, the meaning of our Good News has been veiled, the veil has been on the hearts of those who are on the way to perdition,

τὸ to “the”τοῖς tois “those”

in whom the god of this present age has blinded their unbelieving minds so as to shut out the sunshine of the Good News of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God.

ὁ ho “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τὰ ta “the”τῶν tōn “of the”τὸ to “<the>”τὸν ton “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τῆς tēs “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”

For God who said, "Out of darkness let light shine," is He who has shone in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory, which is radiant on the face of Christ.

ὁ ho “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”ταῖς tais “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τῆς tēs “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

But we have this treasure in a fragile vase of clay, in order that the surpassing greatness of the power may be seen to belong to God, and not to originate in us.

τὸν ton “<the>”ἡ hē “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

always, wherever we go, carrying with us in our bodies the putting to death of Jesus, so that in our bodies it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.

τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τῷ tō “<the>”ἡ hē “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τῷ tō “the”

For we, alive though we are, are continually surrendering ourselves to death for the sake of Jesus, so that in this mortal nature of ours it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.

οἱ hoi “the”ἡ hē “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τῇ tēa “the”

Thus we are constantly dying, while you are in full enjoyment of Life.

ὁ ho “<the>”ἡ hē “<the>”

But possessing the same Spirit of faith as he who wrote, "I believed, and therefore I have spoken," we also believe, and therefore we speak.

τὸ to “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τὸ to “that”

For we know that He who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will raise us also to be with Jesus, and will cause both us and you to stand in His own presence.

ὁ ho “the [One]”τὸν ton “the”

For everything is for your sakes, in order that grace, being more richly bestowed because of the thanksgivings of the increased number, may more and more promote the glory of God.

τὰ ta “<the>”ἡ hē “the”τῶν tōn “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Therefore we are not cowards. Nay, even though our outward man is wasting away, yet our inward man is being renewed day by day.

ὁ ho “the”ὁ ho “the”

For this our light and transitory burden of suffering is achieving for us a preponderating, yes, a vastly preponderating, and eternal weight of glory;

τὸ to “The”τῆς tēs “the”

while we look not at things seen, but things unseen; for things seen are temporary, but things unseen are eternal.

τὰ ta “the [things]”τὰ ta “the [things]”τὰ ta “The [things]”τὰ ta “the [things]”

For we know that if this poor tent, our earthly house, is taken down, we have in Heaven a building which God has provided, a house not built by human hands, but eternal.

ἡ hē “the”τοῦ tou “the”τοῖς tois “the”

For in this one we sigh, because we long to put on over it our dwelling which comes from Heaven--

τὸ to “the”τὸ to “which [is]”

Yes, we who are in this tent certainly do sigh under our burdens, for we do not wish to lay aside that with which we are now clothed, but to put on more, so that our mortality may be absorbed in Life.

οἱ hoi “those”τῷ tō “the”τὸ to “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

And He who formed us with this very end in view is God, who has given us His Spirit as a pledge and foretaste of that bliss.

Ὁ Ho “The [One]”ὁ ho “<the>”τὸν ton “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

We have therefore a cheerful confidence. We know that while we are at home in the body we are banished from the Lord;

τῷ tō “the”τοῦ tou “the”

So we have a cheerful confidence, and we anticipate with greater delight being banished from the body and going home to the Lord.

τοῦ tou “the”τὸν ton “the”

For we must all of us appear before Christ's judgement-seat in our true characters, in order that each may then receive an award for his actions in this life, in accordance with what he has done, whether it be good or whether it be worthless.

τοὺς tous “<the>”τοῦ tou “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὰ ta “the [things done]”τοῦ tou “the”

Therefore, because we realize how greatly the Lord is to be feared, we are endeavouring to win men over, and God recognizes what our motives are, and I hope that you, in your hearts, recognize them too.

τὸν ton “the”τοῦ tou “of the”ταῖς tais “the”

We are not again commending ourselves to your favour, but are furnishing you with a ground of boasting on our behalf, so that you may have a reply ready for those with whom superficial appearances are everything and sincerity of heart counts for nothing.

τοὺς tous “those”

For the love of Christ overmasters us, the conclusion at which we have arrived being this--that One having died for all, His death was their death,

ἡ hē “The”τοῦ tou “<the>”οἱ hoi “<the>”

and that He died for all in order that the living may no longer live to themselves, but to Him who died for them and rose again.

οἱ hoi “those”τῷ tō “to the [One]”
