³⁷ But in all these things we overwhelmingly ^(A)conquer through ^(B)Him who loved us.

^14 (A)But thanks be to God, who always ^(B)leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the ^(C)sweet aroma of the ^(D)knowledge of Him in every place.

⁷ But we have this treasure in ^(A)earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of ^(B)the power will be of God and not from ourselves; ⁸ we are ^(C)afflicted in every way, but not ^(D)crushed; ^(E)perplexed, but not despairing; ^9 (F)persecuted, but not ^(G)forsaken; ^(H)struck down, but not destroyed; ^10 (I)always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that ^(J)the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. ¹¹ For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. ¹² So death works in us, but life in you.

¹³ But having the same ^(K)spirit of faith, according to what is written, “^(L)I believed, therefore I spoke,” we also believe, therefore we also speak, ¹⁴ knowing that He who ^(M)raised the Lord Jesus ^(N)will raise us also with Jesus and will ^(O)present us with you. ¹⁵ For all things are ^(P)for your sakes, so that the grace which is ^[a](Q)spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God.

¹⁶ Therefore we ^(R)do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our ^(S)inner man is ^(T)being renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For momentary, ^(U)light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, ¹⁸ while we ^(V)look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

⁴ but in everything ^(A)commending ourselves as ^[a](B)servants of God, ^(C)in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses, ⁵ in ^(D)beatings, in imprisonments, in ^(E)tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in ^(F)hunger, ⁶ in purity, in ^(G)knowledge, in ^(H)patience, in kindness, in the ^(I)Holy Spirit, in ^(J)genuine love, ⁷ in ^(K)the word of truth, in ^(L)the power of God; by ^(M)the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left, ⁸ by glory and ^(N)dishonor, by ^(O)evil report and good report; regarded as ^(P)deceivers and yet ^(Q)true; ⁹ as unknown ^[b]yet well-known, as ^(R)dying ^[c]yet behold, ^(S)we live; as ^[d]punished ^[e]yet not put to death, ¹⁰ as ^(T)sorrowful yet always ^(U)rejoicing, as ^(V)poor yet making many rich, as ^(W)having nothing ^[f]yet possessing ^(X)all things.

^11 (Y)Our mouth ^[g]has spoken freely to you, O Corinthians, our ^(Z)heart is opened wide. ¹² You are not restrained ^[h]by us, but ^(AA)you are restrained in your own ^[i]affections. ¹³ Now in a like ^(AB)exchange—I speak as to ^(AC)children—open wide to us also.

^14 (AD)Do not be ^[j]bound together with ^(AE)unbelievers; for what ^(AF)partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? ¹⁵ Or what ^(AG)harmony has Christ with ^[k]Belial, or ^[l]what has a ^(AH)believer in common with an ^(AI)unbeliever? ¹⁶ Or ^(AJ)what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are ^(AK)the temple of ^(AL)the living God; just as God said,

^21 (A)He who overcomes, I will grant to him ^(B)to sit down with Me on My throne, as ^(C)I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

¹¹ And they ^(A)overcame him because of ^(B)the blood of the Lamb and because of ^(C)the word of their testimony, and they ^(D)did not love their life even ^[a]when faced with death.
