2 Corinthians 4 - Summary

Paul describes his ministry of the new covenant as renouncing hidden things of dishonesty and commending himself to every conscience by manifesting truth, acknowledging the gospel is veiled only to the perishing whose minds Satan has blinded. He employs the treasure-in-earthen-vessels metaphor to explain apostolic suffering that demonstrates the life of Jesus, declaring that light affliction works an eternal weight of glory while eternal unseen things are the true focus.
