2 Corinthians 4:12 - Compare All Versions

Deildu

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

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

So we live in the face of death, but this has resulted in eternal life for you.

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

So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

So then death is working in us, but life in you.

If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness. We carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives. That’s to prevent anyone from confusing God’s incomparable power with us. As it is, there’s not much chance of that. You know for yourselves that we’re not much to look at. We’ve been surrounded and battered by troubles, but we’re not demoralized; we’re not sure what to do, but we know that God knows what to do; we’ve been spiritually terrorized, but God hasn’t left our side; we’ve been thrown down, but we haven’t broken. What they did to Jesus, they do to us—trial and torture, mockery and murder; what Jesus did among them, he does in us—he lives! Our lives are at constant risk for Jesus’ sake, which makes Jesus’ life all the more evident in us. While we’re going through the worst, you’re getting in on the best!

So death works in us, but life in you.

So physical death is [actively] at work in us, but [spiritual] life [is actively at work] in you.

As a result, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
