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.
