2 Corinthians 4:7-11 We have this treasure in earthen vessels that the power beyond what is normal may be from God, and not from ourselves.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ We have this treasure in earthen vessels that the power beyond what is normal may be from God, and not from ourselves. ⁸ We are pressed (afflicted) (troubled) on every side, but not crushed. We are perplexed yet not to despair. ⁹ We are persecuted, yet not forsaken. We are struck down, yet not destroyed. ¹⁰ We always carry in the body the death of Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body. ¹¹ For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh.
