4:7 But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that the extraordinary power ⁴  belongs to God and does not come from us. 4:8 We are experiencing trouble on every side, ⁵  but are not crushed; we are perplexed, ⁶  but not driven to despair; 4:9 we are persecuted, but not abandoned; ⁷  we are knocked down, ⁸  but not destroyed, 4:10 always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus, ⁹  so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible ¹⁰  in our body. 4:11 For we who are alive are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible ¹¹  in our mortal body. ¹²  4:12 As a result, ¹³  death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. ¹⁴  4:13 But since we have the same spirit of faith as that shown in ¹⁵  what has been written, “I believed; therefore I spoke,” ¹⁶  we also believe, therefore we also speak. 4:14 We do so ¹⁷  because we know that the one who raised up Jesus ¹⁸  will also raise us up with Jesus and will bring us with you into his presence. 4:15 For all these things are for your sake, so that the grace that is including ¹⁹  more and more people may cause thanksgiving to increase ²⁰  to the glory of God. 4:16 Therefore we do not despair, ²¹  but even if our physical body ²²  is wearing away, our inner person ²³  is being renewed day by day. 4:17 For our momentary, light suffering ²⁴  is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison 4:18 because we are not looking at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen. For what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.
