"...we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the
power may be of God and not of us. We are
-
hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed...
-
perplexed, but not in despair
-
persecuted, but not forsaken;
-
struck down, but not destroyed
— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life
of Jesus also may be manifested in our body."

Corinthians 4:7-10
