| 2 | But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. | Mais nous avons rejeté les choses honteuses qu'on cache, ne nous conduisant point avec artifice, et ne falsifiant point la parole de Dieu, mais nous recommandant nous-mêmes auprès de toute conscience d'homme devant Dieu, par la manifestation de la vérité. | but we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man`s conscience in the sight of God. |
| 3 | But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: | Que si notre Évangile est voilé, il est voilé pour ceux qui périssent, | And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish: |
| 4 | In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. | Pour les incrédules, dont le dieu de ce siècle a aveuglé l'esprit, afin qu'ils ne soient pas éclairés par la lumière du glorieux Évangile de Christ, qui est l'image de Dieu. | in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn [upon them]. |

| 13 | We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; | Mais ayant le même esprit de foi, selon qu'il est écrit: J'ai cru, c'est pourquoi j'ai parlé; nous aussi nous croyons, et c' est pourquoi nous parlons, | But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, and therefore did I speak; we also believe, and therefore also we speak; |
| 14 | Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. | Sachant que celui qui a ressuscité le Seigneur Jésus, nous ressuscitera aussi par Jésus, et nous fera comparaître avec vous. | knowing that he that raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you. |
| 15 | For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. | Car toutes ces choses sont pour vous, afin que cette grâce se multipliant, abonde en actions de grâces d'un grand nombre pour la gloire de Dieu. | For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound unto the glory of God. |

| 17 | For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; | Car notre légère affliction du temps présent produit en nous le poids éternel d'une gloire souverainement excellente; | For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory; |
| 18 | While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. | Puisque nous ne regardons point aux choses visibles, mais aux invisibles; car les choses visibles sont pour un temps, mais les invisibles sont éternelles. | while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. |
