“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.”
King James Version (KJV)

It means we have know the power the light and the knowledge of God , but we are inside earthly vessel [body] Cast down as we are from the sons of god and the daughters of men ... a crossbreed . We are made in the image of our creator , we were given their knowledge . . . we have allowed our identity to be stolen . . . . Jesus taught mysterys , you wont understand . . .until you really do have faith .....enough to grow up , Your KJV was not even translated from original texts . . . . .Jesus did leave clearer messages in scriptures and accounts by people who actually knew him . . Read Nag Hamadi Codex

This treasure in Earthen vessel is the Kingdom of God in our lives which we access through being born again. This gives us access to Christ the king and his eternal power to be as he is while we are here living on earth but from the view of heaven with the Holy Spirit Living in us with all of His power to heal the sick , cleanse the leaper and raise the dead.

We as people are made from clay in his image so here on earth we are his vases but when we live our lives as Christ did . Obeying the word of God . Only then we represent him

The treasure God has given us is not alone to preach the gospel but to also show an examplary life by the way we live our life, the way we dress, the way we talk,the way we give all these has done the preaching

Here Paul refers to the treasure of eternal life and light of God we received when we got saved.the ministry of reconciliation has been given to us and we are able to do it because We have the light of the knowledge of God's glory.its not ourselves but he who called us n gave us this treasure

It means in our bodies we carry treasures with us, wherever we go and therefore need to realize that; and explore how great we were created...

we are the treasures of the Lord. he cherishes us and value us. that is why he has given us the treasure of the great task of preaching the good news to All, who are in the dark.
