New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 always carrying around in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies.(A) 11 For we who are living are always being handed over to death for Jesus’s sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our mortal flesh. 12 So death is at work in us but life in you.
13 But just as we have the same spirit of faith that is in accordance with scripture—“I believed, and so I spoke”—we also believe, and therefore we also speak,(B) 14 because we know that the one who raised Jesus[a] will also raise us with Jesus and will present us with you in his presence.(C) 15 Indeed, everything is for your sake, so that grace, when it has extended to more and more people, may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.
Living by Faith
16 So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day.(D) 17 For our slight, momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure,(E)

2 Corinthians 4:10-17
New International Version
10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus,(A) so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.(B) 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake,(C) 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.(D)
13 It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.”[a](E) Since we have that same spirit of[b] faith,(F) we also believe and therefore speak, 14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead(G) will also raise us with Jesus(H) and present us with you to himself.(I) 15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving(J) to overflow to the glory of God.
16 Therefore we do not lose heart.(K) Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly(L) we are being renewed(M) day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.(N)
