2 Corinthians 4:7-18
Treasure in Jars of Clay
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
7:
8 [We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed; [we are] perplexed, but not in despair;
8:
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
9:
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
10:
11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
11:
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
12:
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;
13:
14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.
14:
15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
15:
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day.
16:
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory;
17:
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.
18:
