The following passages are found in Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians in Chapter 4.
“Therefore, since God in His mercy has given us the new way, we never give up. We reject all shameful deeds and underhanded methods. We don’t try to trick anyone or distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest knows this.”
“For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness, has made this light shine in our hearts so we cold know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This make it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.”
“That is why we never give up. Tough our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last vey long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them an will last forever. So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the thing we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.”
2 Corinthians 4:1-2; 6-7; 16-18 (New Living Translation)
