Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

Verse 9 is found in chapter 4 of 2 Corinthians. The treasure in jars of clay expresses the combination of the gospel’s value with the fragility of its messengers. The apostle’s weakness allows the extraordinary power to be attributed to God rather than the human instrument.

wir leiden Verfolgung, aber wir werden nicht verlassen; wir werden unterdrückt, aber wir kommen nicht um;
Perseguidos, mas no desamparados; abatidos, mas no perecemos;
perseguidos, pero no abandonados; derribados, pero no destruidos.
persécutés, mais non abandonnés; abattus, mais non perdus;
perseguiti, ma non però abbandonati; abbattuti, ma non però perduti.
Perseguidos, mas não desamparados; abatidos, mas não destruídos;
遭受迫害,卻不被撇棄;擊倒在地,卻不致滅亡。
