The Holy Bible, English Standard Version

2 Corinthians 4:5-7
<< 2 Corinthians 3 | 2 Corinthians 4 | 2 Corinthians 5 >>

For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants [1] for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Treasure in Jars of Clay

But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
