2 Corinthians 4:7-12 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of power may be from God, and not of us.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of power may be from God, and not of us. ⁸ We are distressed in every way, but not overwhelmed; we are harassed on all sides, but not conquered; ⁹ Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; ¹⁰ For we always bear in our bodies the death of Jesus, that the life of Jesus might also be made manifest in our bodies. ¹¹ For if we who live are delivered to death for JesusÆ sake, so also will the life of Jesus be made manifest in our mortal bodies. ¹² Thus death is close to us, but life is nigh to you.
