6For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.
— 2 Corinthians 4:6-7
