2 Corinthians 4:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 [a]Everywhere we bear about in our body the [b]dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus might also be made manifest in our bodies.
11 For we which [c]live, are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our [d]mortal flesh.
12 [e]So then death worketh in us, and life in you.

New International Version
10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus,(A) so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.(B) 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake,(C) so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. 12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.(D)
