Today’s Reading
The Second Epistle to the Church at Corinth
Chapter4:7-15
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, 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.
9 We are persecuted, but not forsaken: cast down, but we perish not. (a)
10 Everywhere we bear about in our body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus might also be made manifest in our bodies.
11 For we which live, are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death worketh in us, and life in you.
13 And because we have the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken, we also believe, and therefore speak,
14 Knowing that he which hath raised up the Lord Jesus, shall raise us up also by Jesus, and shall set us with you. (b)
15 For all things are for your sakes, that that most plenteous grace by the thanksgiving of many, may redound to the praise of God.
