2 Corinthians 4:8-18
4:8 We are experiencing trouble on every side,
but are not crushed; we are perplexed,
but not driven to despair;
4:9 we are persecuted, but not abandoned;
we are knocked down,
but not destroyed,
4:10 always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus,
so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible
in our body.
4:11 For we who are alive are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible
in our mortal body.
4:12 As a result,
death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
4:13 But since we have the same spirit of faith as that shown in
what has been written, “
I believed; therefore I spoke,”
we also believe, therefore we also speak.
4:14 We do so
because we know that the one who raised up Jesus
will also raise us up with Jesus and will bring us with you into his presence.
4:15 For all these things are for your sake, so that the grace that is including
more and more people may cause thanksgiving to increase
to the glory of God.
4:16 Therefore we do not despair,
but even if our physical body
is wearing away, our inner person
is being renewed day by day.
4:17 For our momentary, light suffering
is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison
4:18 because we are not looking at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen. For what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.
