We are (A)hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not (B)forsaken; (C)struck down, but not destroyed— 10 (D)always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, (E)that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live (F)are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death is working in us, but life in you.

13 And since we have (G)the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, (H)“I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, 14 knowing that (I)He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. 15 For (J)all things are for your sakes, that (K)grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

εν παντι θλιβομενοι αλλ ου στενοχωρουμενοι απορουμενοι αλλ ουκ εξαπορουμενοι

διωκομενοι αλλ ουκ εγκαταλειπομενοι καταβαλλομενοι αλλ ουκ απολλυμενοι

10 παντοτε την νεκρωσιν του κυριου ιησου εν τω σωματι περιφεροντες ινα και η ζωη του ιησου εν τω σωματι ημων φανερωθη

11 αει γαρ ημεις οι ζωντες εις θανατον παραδιδομεθα δια ιησουν ινα και η ζωη του ιησου φανερωθη εν τη θνητη σαρκι ημων

12 ωστε ο μεν θανατος εν ημιν ενεργειται η δε ζωη εν υμιν

13 εχοντες δε το αυτο πνευμα της πιστεως κατα το γεγραμμενον επιστευσα διο ελαλησα και ημεις πιστευομεν διο και λαλουμεν

14 ειδοτες οτι ο εγειρας τον κυριον ιησουν και ημας δια ιησου εγερει και παραστησει συν υμιν

15 τα γαρ παντα δι υμας ινα η χαρις πλεονασασα δια των πλειονων την ευχαριστιαν περισσευση εις την δοξαν του θεου

on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened; perplexed, but not in despair;

persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

10 at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested,

11 for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh,

12 so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in you.

13 And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that which hath been written, `I believed, therefore I did speak;' we also do believe, therefore also do we speak;

14 knowing that He who did raise up the Lord Jesus, us also through Jesus shall raise up, and shall present with you,

15 for the all things [are] because of you, that the grace having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the more, may abound to the glory of God;

we are (A)afflicted in every way, but not (B)crushed; (C)perplexed, but not despairing; (D)persecuted, but not (E)abandoned; (F)struck down, but not destroyed; 10 (G)always carrying around in the body the dying of Jesus, so that (H)the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who live are constantly being handed over to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal flesh. 12 So death works in us, but life in you.

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

We are hard pressed on every side,(A) but not crushed; perplexed,(B) but not in despair; persecuted,(C) but not abandoned;(D) struck down, but not destroyed.(E) 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus,(F) so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.(G) 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake,(H) 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.(I)

13 It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.”[a](J) Since we have that same spirit of[b] faith,(K) we also believe and therefore speak, 14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead(L) will also raise us with Jesus(M) and present us with you to himself.(N) 15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving(O) to overflow to the glory of God.
