⁷ But we have this treasure in jars of clay^(A) to show that this all-surpassing power is from God^(B) and not from us. ⁸ We are hard pressed on every side,^(C) but not crushed; perplexed,^(D) but not in despair; ⁹ persecuted,^(E) but not abandoned;^(F) struck down, but not destroyed.^(G)

¹⁴ because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead^(A) will also raise us with Jesus^(B) and present us with you to himself.^(C)

¹⁷ For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.^(A)

¹⁸ So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,^(A) since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
