2 Corinthians 4:6-9

6For God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of God’s glory in the face of Jesus Christ.

7Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us.

8We are afflicted in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair;

9we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed.
