2 Cor 4:7-10
7 If you only look at me, you might well miss the brightness. I carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pot of my ordinary life. That's to prevent anyone from confusing God's incomparable power with me. 8 As it is, there's not much chance of that. You know for yourselves that I’m not much to look at. I've been surrounded and battered by troubles, but I’m not demoralized; I’m not sure what to do, 9 but I know that God knows what to do; I’m been spiritually terrorized, but God hasn't left my side; I've been thrown down, but I’m not broken. 10 What they did to Jesus, they do to me — trial and torture, mockery and murder; what Jesus did among them, he does in me — he lives!
