2 Corinthians 4:9-11
New English Translation

9 we are persecuted, but not abandoned;[a] we are knocked down,[b] but not destroyed, 10 always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus,[c] so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible[d] 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[e] in our mortal body.[f]
