1 Paul and his friends have a job from God to tell good news. God was kind to them. So they do not quit. 2 They say no to bad, secret ways. They do not trick. They tell God’s true word. God sees them. People can see they are true. ️✨ 3 If the good news looks hidden, it is hidden to people who do not see. ️ 4 The bad one in this world makes them not see. Their minds are dark. They do not see the bright good news about Jesus. Jesus shows us God. ️ 5 Paul and friends do not talk big about themselves. They tell about the Lord Jesus. They are helpers for the people, for Jesus. 6 Long ago God said, “Let light shine in the dark.” Now God puts light in their hearts. This light helps them know Jesus. When they see Jesus, they see God. ➡️❤️ 7 They carry this good gift in weak bodies, like jars of mud. This shows God’s power is big. Their power is small. 8 They get pushed on all sides, but they are not broken. They get mixed up, but they do not give up. 9 People hurt them, but God does not leave them. They get hit down, but they get up again. ♂️⬆️ 10 They suffer like Jesus. Then the life of Jesus can be seen in them. ✝️➡️ 11 They face death each day for Jesus. Then Jesus’ life can be seen in their weak bodies. ⚠️➡️ 12 So they get hurt, and the people get life. ❤️➡️ 13 The Bible says, “I believe, so I talk.” They also believe. So they talk. ️ 14 God made the Lord Jesus live again. God will make them live again with Jesus. God will bring them with the people to Him. ✝️ 15 All this is for the people. God is kind to more and more people. Then more and more people say, “Thank You, God!” 16 So they do not quit. Their bodies get weak. But inside they get new each day. 17 Their hard time is small and short. God will give a big, forever good life. ⏳➡️ 18 They do not look only at things they can see. They look to things they cannot see yet. What they see now will end. God’s things last forever. ➡️✨♾️
