2 Corinthians 4:11-18
11For we who liveG2198 are constantlyG104 being handedG3860 overG3860 to deathG2288 becauseG1223 of JesusG2424, soG2443 thatG2443 the lifeG2222 of JesusG2424 may alsoG2532 be revealedG5319 in our mortalG2349 fleshG4561. 12SoG5620 deathG2288 worksG1754 in us, but lifeG2222 in you.
13But havingG2192 the sameG846 1spiritG4151 of faithG4102, accordingG2596 to what is writtenG1125: “2I believedG4100, thereforeG1352 I spokeG2980,” we alsoG2532 believeG4100, thereforeG1352 we alsoG2532 speakG2980, 14knowingG3609 that He who 3raisedG1453 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 4will alsoG2532 raiseG1453 us with JesusG2424, and will 5presentG3936 us with you. 15For allG3956 thingsG3956 are 6for your sakesG1223, soG2443 thatG2443 graceG5485, having 78spreadG4121 to moreG4183 and moreG4183 peopleG4183, will causeG4052 thanksgivingG2169 toG4052 overflowG4052 to the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.
16ThereforeG1352 we 9do not loseG1457 heartG1457, but thoughG1487G2532 our outerG1854 personG444 is decayingG1311, yetG235 our 10innerG2080 person is 11being renewedG341 dayG2250 by dayG2250. 17For our momentaryG3910, 12lightG1645 afflictionG2347 is producingG2716 for us an eternalG166 weightG922 of gloryG1391 farG5236 beyondG1519 allG5236 comparisonG5236, 18while we 13lookG4648 not atG4648 the things which are seenG991, but at the things which are not seenG991; for the things which are seenG991 are temporalG4340, but the things which are not seenG991 are eternalG166.
