2 Corinthians 4:8-16

8we are 1afflictedG2346 in everyG3956 wayG3956, but not 2crushedG4729; 3perplexedG639, but not despairingG1820; 94persecutedG1377, but not 5forsakenG1459; 6struckG2598 downG2598, but not destroyedG622; 107alwaysG3842 carryingG4064 aboutG4064 in the bodyG4983 the dyingG3500 of JesusG2424, soG2443 that 8the lifeG2222 of JesusG2424 alsoG2532 may be manifestedG5319 in our bodyG4983. 11For we who liveG2198 are constantlyG104 being deliveredG3860 overG3860 to deathG2288 for Jesus’G2424 sakeG1223, soG2443 that the lifeG2222 of JesusG2424 alsoG2532 may be manifestedG5319 in our mortalG2349 fleshG4561. 12SoG5620 deathG2288 worksG1754 in us, but lifeG2222 in you.

13But havingG2192 the sameG846 9spiritG4151 of faithG4102, accordingG2596 to what is writtenG1125, “10I believedG4100, thereforeG1352 I spokeG2980,” we alsoG2532 believeG4100, thereforeG1352 we alsoG2532 speakG2980, 14knowingG3609 that He who 11raisedG1453 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 12will raiseG1453 us alsoG2532 with JesusG2424 and will 13presentG3936 us with you. 15For allG3956 thingsG3956 are 14for your sakesG1223, soG2443 that the graceG5485 which is 1516spreadingG4121 to moreG4183 and more people may causeG4052 the givingG2169 of thanksG2169 to aboundG4052 to the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.

16ThereforeG1352 we 17do not loseG1457 heartG1457, but thoughG1487G2532 our outerG1854 manG444 is decayingG1311, yetG235 our 18innerG2080 manG2080 is 19being renewedG341 dayG2250 by dayG2250.
