Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on 2 Corinthians 4:6-12

6For 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 Jesus Christ.
7Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.
8We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.
10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
11For we who are alive are always consigned to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal body.
12So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
— 2 Corinthians 4:6-12
