2 Corinthians 4:10

8 We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;

9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.

We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

11 For we who are alive are always consigned to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal body.

12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
