"Hard Pressed On Every Side"

 

Cast Down but Unconquered     2 Corinthians 4

"Death working in our flesh for the glory of God"

⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 

 ⁸ We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 

⁹ persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 

 ¹⁰ always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 

 ¹¹ For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 

 ¹² So then death is working in us, but life in you.


¹³ And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, 

 ¹⁴ knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. 

 ¹⁵ For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
