6because [it is] God who said, Out of darkness light [is] to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us;
8on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened; perplexed, but not in despair;
9persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested,
11for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh,
12so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in you.
