2 Corinthians 4:5-10
5For we 1do not preachG2784 ourselvesG1438 but ChristG5547 JesusG2424 as LordG2962, and ourselvesG1438 as your bond-servantsG1401 2for Jesus’G2424 sakeG1223. 6For GodG2316, who saidG3004, “3LightG5457 shall shineG2989 out of darknessG4655,” is the One whoG3739 has 4shoneG2989 in our heartsG2588 to give the 5LightG5462 of the knowledgeG1108 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 in the faceG4383 of ChristG5547.
7But we haveG2192 thisG3778 treasureG2344 in 6earthenG3749 vesselsG4632, soG2443 that the surpassingG5236 greatnessG5236 of 7the powerG1411 will be of GodG2316 and not from ourselvesG1473; 8we are 8afflictedG2346 in everyG3956 wayG3956, but not 9crushedG4729; 10perplexedG639, but not despairingG1820; 911persecutedG1377, but not 12forsakenG1459; 13struckG2598 downG2598, but not destroyedG622; 1014alwaysG3842 carryingG4064 aboutG4064 in the bodyG4983 the dyingG3500 of JesusG2424, soG2443 that 15the lifeG2222 of JesusG2424 alsoG2532 may be manifestedG5319 in our bodyG4983.
