We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

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

10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

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)
