American Standard Version
"pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed; "
— 2 Corinthians 4:9, American Standard Version
“Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;”
“pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;”
“we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed,”
“We suffer persecution: but are not forsaken. We are cast down: but we perish not.”
“We are cruelly attacked, but not without hope; we are made low, but we are not without help;”
“Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;”
Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;
we are pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;
pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;
always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body.
For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
