7 But we haue this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellencie of the power may be of God, and not of vs.
8 Wee are troubled on euery side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despaire,
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast downe, but not destroyed.
10 Alwayes bearing about in the body, the dying of the Lord Iesus, that the life also of Iesus might bee made manifest in our body.
11 For we which liue, are always deliuered vnto death for Iesus sake, that the life also of Iesus might bee made manifest in our mortall flesh.
12 So then death worketh in vs, but life in you.
13 We hauing the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I beleeued, and therefore haue I spoken: wee also beleeue, and therefore speake.
14 Knowing that hee which raised vp the Lord Iesus, shall raise vp vs also by Iesus, and shall present vs with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundāt grace might, through the thankesgiuing of many, redound to the glory of God.
