But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;

But we have this wealth in vessels of earth, so that it may be seen that the power comes not from us but from God;

Εχομεν δε τον θησαυρον τουτον εις οστρακινα σκευη, δια να ηναι η υπερβολη της δυναμεως του Θεου και ουχι εξ ημων,

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
