2 Corinthians 4:7-10

Ps. Reuben Kanagalingam

⁷ But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all- surpassing power is from God and not from us. ⁸ We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; ⁹ persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. ¹⁰ We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. ~2 Corinthians 4:7-10 (NIV)
