7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellence of the power may be of God and not from us,

8 restricted in everything, yet not confined, perplexed but not despairing,

9 persecuted but not forsaken, cast down but not destroyed.

10 Always carrying around in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, so that also the life of Jesus may be made visible in our body.

11 For we who live are always given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that also the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh.
