2 Corinthians 4:10-12
New English Translation

10 always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus,[a] so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible[b] in our body. 11 For we who are alive are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible[c] in our mortal body.[d] 12 As a result,[e] death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.[f]

According to L&N 23.99 it could be translated, “at all times we live in the constant threat of being killed as Jesus was.”
  2. 2 Corinthians 4:10 tn Or “may also be revealed.”
  3. 2 Corinthians 4:11 tn Or “may also be revealed.”
  4. 2 Corinthians 4:11 tn Grk “mortal flesh.”
  5. 2 Corinthians 4:12 tn Or “So then.”
  6. 2 Corinthians 4:12 tn Grk “death is at work in us, but life in you”; the phrase “is at work in” is repeated in the translation for clarity.
