2 Corinthians 4:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 For God (A)[a]that commanded the light to shine out of darkness, is he which hath shined in our hearts, to give the [b]light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 [c]But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, [d]that the excellency of that power might be of God, and not of us.
8 We are afflicted on every side, yet are we not in distress: we are in doubt, but yet we despair not.
