Treasures in Jars of Clay

For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness, made his light shine
in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in
the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this
all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in
despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed-

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary
troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen
is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:6-9 & 16-18
