2 Corinthians 4:7-9

New Century Version

Spiritual Treasure in Clay Jars

⁷ We have this treasure from God, but we are like clay jars that hold the treasure. This shows that the great power is from God, not from us. ⁸ We have troubles all around us, but we are not defeated. We do not know what to do, but we do not give up the hope of living. ⁹ We are persecuted, but God does not leave us. We are hurt sometimes, but we are not destroyed.
