- Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (~450)

We do not lose heart[edit]
The Greek οὐκ ἐγκακοῦμεν (ouk enkakoumen) is a Pauline phrase used twice in this chapter, derived from the verb ἐκκακέω (ekkakeó), meaning 'to faint'.[4] The word is used in three of the other Pauline epistles, and in one other New Testament text: 'the example outside the Pauline corpus is found at Luke 18:8. Acronis media add on. Jesus spoke a parable concerning the constant necessity of prayer and [teaching] that the Christians should not grow weary of prayer'.[2]
Verse 7[edit]
- But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.[5]
- 'Treasure in earthen vessels': The Gospel, as a 'treasure' because 'it contains rich truths', is placed in 'earthen vessels,' i.e. 'ministers of the word.'[6][7] It alludes either to the 'earth', where hidden treasures are to be dug, or to 'pots and vessels made of earth', or to 'earthen pitchers', formerly to carry lights or lamps (cf. Judges 7:16: three hundred men of Gideon took empty pitchers and placed lamps within the pitchers); the latter may represent the Gospel as a 'glorious light, shining in darkness' (2 Corinthians 4:4; 2 Corinthians 4:6).[6] The Greek word ostrakinoiu signifies 'shells of fishes' which Philo the Jew compare the human body.[8] This reference may point to pearls, which are found in shells, particularly in oysters, expressing the 'frail mortal bodies of the ministers of the Gospel' (comparable to the brittle shells) as they work under persecutions, for Gospel's sake (cf. Jeremiah 32:14).[6]
