2 Corinthians 4

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

7 Ref And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us;

8 Ref on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened; perplexed, but not in despair;

9 Ref persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

10 Ref at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested,

11 Ref for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh,

12 Ref so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in you.

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.
