2 CORINTHIANS 4:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.”
We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body — Paul's suffering participates in Christ's dying (nepherō tou thanatou). This nekrōsis (mortification) serves theologically: it makes room for Christ's resurrection life to manifest through the apostle. Suffering becomes the condition for resurrection testimony.
