2 Corinthians 4:7

Treasure In Earthenware Jars

⁶ Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. ⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves; ⁸ we are pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;
