2 Corinthians 7:5-7 (WEL) For when we had come to Macedonia, our flesh had no rest.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (WEL) For this is the reason we don’t give up even though our body [literally outward man] perishes, yet the inward is renewed day after day. 17 Our lightweight troubles, which are short-lived, bring us exceedingly greater and eternal weight of glory. 18 For we are not looking at the things…
2 Corinthians 4:7-12 (WEL) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the superiority of this power may be of God and not from us. 8 We go through difficult things but are not distressed. We are perplexed, but not to the point of despair. 9 We are persecuted but not forsaken.…
