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.

2 Corinthians 4:7-12
New King James Version
Cast Down but Unconquered
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, (A)that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are (B)hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not (C)forsaken; (D)struck down, but not destroyed— 10 (E)always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, (F)that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live (G)are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death is working in us, but life in you.
