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.

⁴⁹ And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man,^(A) so shall we^[a] bear the image of the heavenly man.^(B)

³⁶ As it is written:

⁴ For while we are in this tent, we groan^(A) and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,^(B) so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

⁵³ For the perishable^(A) must clothe itself with the imperishable,^(B) and the mortal with immortality. ⁵⁴ When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”^[a](C)

³¹ I face death every day^(A)—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹¹ And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead^(A) is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies^(B) because of^[a] his Spirit who lives in you.
