Context
4:9 we are persecuted , but not abandoned ; we are knocked down , but not destroyed ,
4:10 always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus , so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our body .
4:11 For we who are alive are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus ’ sake , so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our mortal body .
4:12 As a result , death is at work in us , but life is at work in you .
4:13 But since we have the same spirit of faith as that shown in what has been written , “I believed ; therefore I spoke ,” we also believe , therefore we also speak .
4:14 We do so because we know that the one who raised up Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus and will bring us with you into his presence.
4:15 For all these things are for your sake , so that the grace that is including more and more people may cause thanksgiving to increase to the glory of God .
4:16 Therefore we do not despair , but even if our physical body is wearing away , our inner person is being renewed day by day .
4:17 For our momentary , light suffering is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison
4:18 because we are not looking at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen . For what can be seen is temporary , but what cannot be seen is eternal .
