2 Corinthians 4:8-11

8We receive trouble all the time, but that does not stop us. We do not always know what to do, but we are not afraid to continue.

9We have many enemies, but we always have friends. People hurt us, but they never destroy us.

10As we serve Jesus, we know that we may die as he died. Because of that, our lives show that we live because he is alive.

11Yes, as we live our lives, death is always very near, because we serve Jesus. As a result, people can see in our weak, human bodies that Jesus is alive.
