2 Corinthians 4:6-9

7But we have this treasure in 4earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of 5the power will be of God and not from ourselves; 8we are 6afflicted in every way, but not 7crushed; 8perplexed, but not despairing; 99persecuted, but not 10forsaken; 11struck down, but not destroyed;
