2 Corinthians 4:7

⁵  For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

⁶  For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

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

⁸  We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

⁹  Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
