7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. |
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; |
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; |
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. |
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. |
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. |
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; |
14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. |
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. |
