2 Corinthians 4:7-16

New King James Version

Cast Down but Unconquered

⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, ^(A)that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. ⁸ We are ^(B)hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; ⁹ persecuted, but not ^(C)forsaken; ^(D)struck down, but not destroyed— ^10 (E)always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, ^(F)that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. ¹¹ For we who live ^(G)are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. ¹² So then death is working in us, but life in you.

¹³ And since we have ^(H)the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, ^(I)“I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, ¹⁴ knowing that ^(J)He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. ¹⁵ For ^(K)all things are for your sakes, that ^(L)grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

Seeing the Invisible

¹⁶ Therefore we ^(M)do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is ^(N)being renewed day by day.
