(2 Corinthians IV, 6-15) 2 Corinthians IV, 6 — ‘ἐκ σκότους’ - ‘ek skotous’ - ‘out of darkness’. Here the preposition ‘ek’ indicates where it is from. ‘ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις’ - ‘en tais kardiais’ - ‘in the hearts’. ‘ἐν προσώπῳ’ - ‘en prosopo’ - ‘in the Person; in the face’. Both translations are possible here, the first referring to Christ Himself as a Person and the second to His presence through His face.

2 Corinthians IV, 7 — ‘ἐν ὀστρακίνοις σκεύεσιν’ - ‘en ostrakinois skeuesin’ - ‘in earthen vessels’. ‘ἐξ ἡμῶν’ - ‘ex emon’ - ‘from us’. Here the preposition ‘ek’ in its form before the next vowel indicates origin.

2 Corinthians IV, 8 — ‘ἐν παντὶ’ - ‘en panti’ - ‘in everything; by all’. Both translations are possible.

2 Corinthians IV, 10 — ‘ἐν τῷ σώματι’ - ‘en to somati’ - ‘in the body; with the body’. This implies that Christ's dying is directly connected with the body. ‘ἐν τοῖς σώμασιν’ - ‘en tois somasin’ - ‘in the body’.

2 Corinthians IV, 11 — ‘εἰς θάνατον’ - ‘eis thanaton’ - ‘into death; to death’. That is, where people want to send them. ‘ἐν τῇ θνητῇ σαρκὶ’ - ‘en te thnete sarki’ - ‘in a mortal body’.

2 Corinthians IV, 12 — ‘ἐν ἡμῖν’ - ‘en emin’ - ‘’in us‘’. ‘ἐν ὑμῖν’ - ‘en ymin’ - ‘’in you‘’.

2 Corinthians IV, 15 — ‘εἰς τὴν δόξαν’ - ‘eis ten doxan’ - ‘to glory; for glory’. Here the preposition ‘eis’ indicates the purpose of the action.
