2 Corinthians 4:12

Serving others

10 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.

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

13 And in keeping with what is written: “I believed, therefore I have spoken,” we who have the same spirit of faith also believe and therefore speak,

14 knowing that the One who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in His presence.
