NET Bible
"We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we are perplexed, but not driven to despair;"
— 2 Corinthians 4:8, NET Bible
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;”
“we are pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair; ”
“We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;”
“In all things we suffer tribulation: but are not distressed. We are straitened: but are not destitute.”
“Troubles are round us on every side, but we are not shut in; things are hard for us, but we see a way out of them;”
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;”
For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake.
For God, who said“Let light shine out of darkness,” is the one who shined in our hearts to give us the light of the glorious knowledge of God in the face of Christ.
An Eternal Weight of Glory But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that the extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.
We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we are perplexed, but not driven to despair;
we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed,
always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our body.
For we who are alive are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our mortal body.
