Context of 2 Corinthians 4:14

12Death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. 13The following is written, “I believed; therefore, I spoke.” We have that same spirit of faith. We also believe; therefore, we also speak. We know that the one who brought the Lord Jesus back to life will also bring us back to life through Jesus. He will present us to God together with you. 15All this is for your sake so that, as God’s kindness overflows in the lives of many people, it will produce even more thanksgiving to the glory of God. 16That is why we are not discouraged. Though outwardly we are wearing out, inwardly we are renewed day by day.
