AI-assisted, sourced2 Corinthians 4:7-15Treasure in earthen vessels
About 2 Corinthians 4Because "we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not," Paul writes, and he will not handle "the word of God deceitfully," for "we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord." "We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us": they are "troubled on every side, yet not distressed... cast down, but not destroyed." So "we faint not," for "our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory," and "the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:12 Corinthians 4:22 Corinthians 4:52 Corinthians 4:72 Corinthians 4:82 Corinthians 4:92 Corinthians 4:162 Corinthians 4:172 Corinthians 4:18
