2 Corinthians 4:7–18

⁷But we have this treasure in ^yearthen ^zvessels, ^athat the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. ⁸We are ^btroubled on every side, yet not ^cdistressed; we are ^ccperplexed, but not in despair; ^9dpersecuted, but not ^eforsaken; ^fcast down, but not destroyed; ^10galways bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, ^hthat the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. ¹¹For we which live ⁱare alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. ¹²So then ^kdeath worketh in us, but life in you. ¹³We having ^lthe same spirit ^mof faith, according as it is written, ⁿI believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, ^oand therefore speak; ¹⁴knowing that ^phe which raised up the Lord Jesus ^qshall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall ^qqpresent us with you. ¹⁵For ^rall things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might ^sthrough the thanksgiving of many redound ^tto the glory of God. ¹⁶For which cause ^uwe faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet ^vthe inward man ^wis renewed day by day. ¹⁷For ^xour light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us ^ya far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; ^18zwhile we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are ^atemporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
