“We are like clay jars in which this treasure is stored. The real power comes from God and not from us.

We often suffer, but we are never crushed. Even when we don’t know what to do, we never give up.

In times of trouble, God is with us, and when we are knocked down, we get up again. We face death every day because of Jesus.

Our bodies show what his death was like, so that his life can also be seen in us.This means that death is working in us, but life is working in you.”

2 Corinthians 4:7-12 (Contemporary English Version)
