4 whose minds athe god of this age bhas blinded, who do not believe, lest cthe light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, dwho is the image of God, should shine on them.
5 aFor we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and bourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.
6 For it is the God awho commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has bshone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Cast Down but Unconquered
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, athat the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
8 We are ahard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 persecuted, but not aforsaken; bstruck down, but not destroyed—
10 aalways carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, bthat the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
11 For we who live aare always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death is working in us, but life in you.
