¹¹ For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake,^(A) 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.^(B)

⁶ Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. ⁷ For we live by faith, not by sight.^{(A) 8} We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.^(B)

¹² That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame,^(A) because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard^(B) what I have entrusted to him until that day.^(C)
