2 Corinthians 4:8

8 We are pushed hard from all sides. But we are not beaten down. We are bewildered. But that doesn't make us lose hope.

2 Corinthians 4:8 In-Context

6 God said, "Let light shine out of darkness."(Genesis 1:3) He made his light shine in our hearts. It shows us the light of God's glory in the face of Christ.
7 Treasure is kept in clay jars. In the same way, we have the treasure of the good news in these earthly bodies of ours. That shows that the mighty power of the good news comes from God. It doesn't come from us.
8 We are pushed hard from all sides. But we are not beaten down. We are bewildered. But that doesn't make us lose hope.
9 Others make us suffer. But God does not desert us. We are knocked down. But we are not knocked out.
10 We always carry around the death of Jesus in our bodies. In that way, the life of Jesus can be shown in our bodies.
