9. Others make us suffer. But God does not desert us. We are knocked down. But we are not knocked out.
10. We always carry around the death of Jesus in our bodies. In that way, the life of Jesus can be shown in our bodies.
11. We who are alive are always in danger of death because we are serving Jesus. So his life can be shown in our earthly bodies.
12. Death is at work in us. But life is at work in you.
13. It is written, "I believed, and so I have spoken." (Psalm 116:10) With that same spirit of faith we also believe. And we also speak.
14. We know that God raised the Lord Jesus from the dead. And he will also raise us up with Jesus. He will bring us with you to God in heaven.
15. All of that is for your benefit. God's grace is reaching more and more people. So they will become more and more thankful. They will give glory to God.
