7But we have this treasure in clay vessels,that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of Godand not from ourselves.8We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed;perplexed, yet not to despair;9pursued, yet not forsaken;struck down, yet not destroyed;10always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus,that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.11For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake,that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.12So then death works in us, but life in you.

13But having the same spirit of faith,according to that which is written,“I believed, and therefore I spoke.”We also believe, and therefore we also speak,14knowing that hewho raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also through Jesus,and will present us with you.15For all things are for your sakes,that the grace, being multiplied through the many,may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

10I believed, therefore I said,“I was greatly afflicted.”11I said in my haste,“All people are liars.”

15Precious in the Lord’s sight is the death of his saints.16Lord, truly I am your servant.I am your servant, the son of your servant girl.You have freed me from my chains.

17I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,and will call on the Lord’s name.18I will pay my vows to the Lord,yes, in the presence of all his people,

27“You have heard that it was said,‘You shall not commit adultery;’28but I tell you that everyonewho gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.29If your right eye causes you to stumble,pluck it out and throw it away from you.For it is more profitable for youthat one of your members should perish than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.30If your right hand causes you to stumble,cut it off, and throw it away from you.For it is more profitable for youthat one of your members should perish,than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

31“It was also said,‘Whoever shall put away his wife,let him give her a writing of divorce,’32but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife,except for the cause of sexual immorality,makes her an adulteress;and whoever marries herwhen she is put away commits adultery.
