As for them, the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, would not shine in them.
For we are not preaching about ourselves, but about Jesus Christ our Lord. We are merely your servants through Jesus.
For God, who told the light to shine out of darkness, has shined a light into our hearts, to illuminate the knowledge of the splendor of God, in the person of Christ Jesus.
But we hold this treasure in earthen vessels, so that what is sublime may be of the power of God, and not of us.
In all things, we endure tribulation, yet we are not in anguish. We are constrained, yet we are not destitute.
We suffer persecution, yet we have not been abandoned. We are thrown down, yet we do not perish.
We ever carry around the mortification of Jesus in our bodies, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
