2 Corinthians 4:10-18 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
10
Through suffering, these bodies of ours constantly share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.
11
Yes, we live under constant danger of death because we serve Jesus, so that the life of Jesus will be obvious in our dying bodies.
12
So we live in the face of death, but it has resulted in eternal life for you.
13
But we continue to preach because we have the same kind of faith the psalmist had when he said, "I believed in God, and so I speak." a
14
We know that the same God who raised our Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us to himself along with you.
15
All of these things are for your benefit. And as God's grace brings more and more people to Christ, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory.
16
That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are b being renewed every day.
17
For our present troubles are quite small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us an immeasurably great glory that will last forever!
18
So we don't look at the troubles we can see right now; rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen. For the troubles we see will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever.
