Treasure in Jars of Clay

⁷ But we have this treasure in ^(A)jars of clay, ^(B)to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.

⁹ Only ^(A)do not rebel against the Lord. And ^(B)do not fear the people of the land, for ^(C)they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.”

²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach^[a] to save those who believe. ²² For ^(A)Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, ²³ but we preach Christ ^(B)crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ ^(C)the power of God and ^(D)the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

⁷ And he said to the people, “Go forward. March around the city and let ^(A)the armed men pass on before the ark of the Lord.”

¹⁴ And the second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did for six days.
