2 Corinthians 4 is the fourth chapter of the Second Epistle to the Corinthians in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It was written by Paul the Apostle and Timothy (2 Corinthians 1:1) from Macedonia in 55–56 CE. This chapter is part of a section (from 2 Corinthians 2:14 to 5:19) which deals with Paul's authority as an apostle. Twice in this chapter (in verses 1 and 16) this sentence occurs: "Therefore, we do not lose heart".
