2 Corinthians 4:10-17

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on 2 Corinthians 4:10-17

10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
11For we who are alive are always consigned to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal body.
12So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
13And in keeping with what is written: “I believed, therefore I have spoken,” we who have the same spirit of faith also believe and therefore speak,
14knowing that the One who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in His presence.
15All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is extending to more and more people may overflow in thanksgiving, to the glory of God.
16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.
17For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal glory that is far beyond comparison.
— 2 Corinthians 4:10-17
