2 Corinthians 4

World English Bible (WEB)

7 Ref But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.

8 Ref We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;

9 Ref pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;

10 Ref always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

11 Ref For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

12 Ref So then death works in us, but life in you.

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

7 Ref But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;

8 Ref `we are' pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;

9 Ref pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;

10 Ref always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body.

11 Ref For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

12 Ref So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

7 Ref But we have this wealth in vessels of earth, so that it may be seen that the power comes not from us but from God;

8 Ref Troubles are round us on every side, but we are not shut in; things are hard for us, but we see a way out of them;

9 Ref We are cruelly attacked, but not without hope; we are made low, but we are not without help;

10 Ref In our bodies there is ever the mark of the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our bodies.

11 Ref For, while living, we are still being given up to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our flesh, though it is under the power of death.

12 Ref So then, death is working in us, but life in you.
