2 Corinthians 4:7-12
New American Standard Bible
7 But we have this treasure in [a](A)earthen containers, so that the extraordinary greatness of (B)the power will be of God and not from ourselves; 8 we are (C)afflicted in every way, but not (D)crushed; (E)perplexed, but not despairing; 9 (F)persecuted, but not (G)abandoned; (H)struck down, but not destroyed; 10 (I)always carrying around in the body the dying of Jesus, so that (J)the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who live are constantly being handed over to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal flesh. 12 So death works in us, but life in you.

Treasure in Earthenware Jars
7 But we have this treasure in earthenware jars, in order that the extraordinary degree of the power may be from God and not from us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying around the death of Jesus in our body, in order that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who are alive are continually being handed over to death because of Jesus, in order that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal flesh. 12 So then, death is at work in us, but life in you.
