8Weareahard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; weare perplexed, but not in despair;
9 persecuted, but not aforsaken; bstruck down, but not destroyed—
10aalways carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, bthat the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
11 For we who live aare always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death is working in us, but life in you.
13 And since we have athe same spirit of faith, according to what is written, b“I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak,
14 knowing that aHe who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you.
Always - Wherever we go. Bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus - Continually expecting to lay down our lives like him. That the life also of Jesus might be manifested in our body - That we may also rise and be glorified like him.
