(SEE 4:10)
and their bones lie scattered like broken rocks on top of a grave.
We face death all day for you. We are like sheep on their way to be slaughtered.
Yet God raised Jesus to life! God's Spirit now lives in you, and he will raise you to life by his Spirit.
It is exactly as the Scriptures say, "For you we face death all day long. We are like sheep on their way to be butchered."
and face death every day? The pride that I have in you because of Christ Jesus our Lord is what makes me say this.
Just as we are like the one who was made out of earth, we will be like the one who came from heaven.
We face death every day because of Jesus. Our bodies show what his death was like, so that his life can also be seen in us.
This means that death is working in us, but life is working in you.
These tents we now live in are like a heavy burden, and we groan. But we don't do this just because we want to leave these bodies that will die. It is because we want to change them for bodies that will never die.
We are unknown to others, but well known to you. We seem to be dying, and yet we are still alive. We have been punished, but never killed,
