2 Corinthians 4:7-18 - Treasure In Earthenware Jars

⁷ Howbeit we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that, the surpassing greatness of the power, may be of God, and not from ourselves: - ⁸ On every side, pressed hard, but not hemmed in, without a way, but not without a by-way, ⁹ Pursued, but not abandoned, thrown down, but not destroyed; - ¹⁰ At all times, the putting to death of Jesus, in our body, bearing about, in order that, the life also of Jesus, in our body, may be made manifest; ¹¹ For, evermore, we, the living, unto death are being delivered, for Jesus' sake, in order that, the life also of Jesus, may be made manifest in our mortal flesh: ¹² So that, his death, in us, doth energise, but, his life, in you. ¹³ Howbeit, seeing that we have the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written - I believed, therefore I spake, we, also believe, therefore also we speak: ¹⁴ Knowing that, he who raised up the Lord Jesus, will raise up, us also, together with Jesus, and will present us together with you. ¹⁵ For, all things, are for your sakes, in order that, the favour abounding, may, through means of the greater number, cause, the thanksgiving, to superabound unto the glory of God.

¹⁶ Wherefore we faint not, but, even if, our outer man, is decaying, nevertheless, our inner man , is renewing day by day. ¹⁷ For, the momentary lightness of thee tribulation, in a manner yet more and more excelling, is working out for us, an age-abiding weight of glory, - ¹⁸ So long as we are not looking out for the visible things, but for the invisible; for, the visible things, are temporary, whereas, the invisible, are age-abiding.
