"But this precious treasure---
this light and power that now shine with us---
is held in a perishable container,
that is,
in our weak bodies.
Everyone can see that the glorious power
within must be from God
and not our own."
~ 2 Corinthians 4:7 LAB

Bible Commentary: "The supremely valuable message of salvation in Jesus Christ has been entrusted by God to frail and fallible human beings. Paul's (writer) focus, however, is not on the perishable container but on the priceless contents---God's power dwelling in us. Though we are weak, God uses us to spread his Good News and gives us power to do his work. Knowing that the power is his, not ours, keeps us from pride and motivates us to keep daily contact with God, our power source. Our responsibility is to let people see God through us."
