2 Corinthians 4:10

8 We are ^ahard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

9 persecuted, but not ^aforsaken; ^bstruck down, but not destroyed—

10 ^aalways 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.

15 For ^aall things are for your sakes, that ^bgrace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

Seeing the Invisible

16 Therefore we ^ado not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is ^bbeing renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 4:10

Always bearing about in the body, etc. - Being every moment in danger of losing our lives in the cause of truth, as Jesus Christ was. We, in a word, bear his cross, and are ready to offer up our lives for him. There is probably an allusion here to the marks, wounds, and bruises which the contenders in those games got, and continued to carry throughout life.

That the life also of Jesus might be made manifest - That in our preservation, the success of our ministry, and the miracles we work, we might be able to give the fullest demonstration that Jesus is risen again from the dead; and that we are strengthened by him to do all these mighty works.
