2 Corinthians 4:11-15
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
11 For while we live we are always being given up to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So death is at work in us, but life in you.[a]
13 Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we too believe, and so we speak, 14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. 15 For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.

2 Corinthians 4:11-15
New International Version
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)
13 It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.”[a](C) Since we have that same spirit of[b] faith,(D) we also believe and therefore speak, 14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead(E) will also raise us with Jesus(F) and present us with you to himself.(G) 15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving(H) to overflow to the glory of God.
