7. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency may be of the power of God, and not of us.
8. In all things we suffer tribulation, but are not distressed; we are straitened, but are not destitute;
9. We suffer persecution, but are not forsaken; we are cast down, but we perish not:
10. Always bearing about in our body the mortification of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodies.
11. For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake; that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12. So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13. But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed, for which cause I have spoken; we also believe, for which cause we speak also:
14. Knowing that he who raised up Jesus, will raise us up also with Jesus, and place us with you.
15. For all things are for your sakes; that the grace abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God.
