4:8. In all things we suffer tribulation: but are not distressed. We
are straitened: but are not destitute.

4:9. We suffer persecution: but are not forsaken. We are cast down: but
we perish not.

4:10. Always bearing about in our body the mortification of Jesus, that
the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodies.

4:11. For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake:
that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

4:12. So then death worketh in us: but life in you.

4:13. But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed,
for which cause I have spoken; we also believe. For which cause we speak
also:

4:14. Knowing that he who raised up Jesus will raise us up also with
Jesus and place us with you.

4:15. For all things are for your sakes: that the grace, abounding
through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God.

4:16. For which cause we faint not: but though our outward man is
corrupted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

4:17. For that which is at present momentary and light of our
tribulation worketh for us above measure, exceedingly an eternal weight
of glory.

4:18. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal: but the
things which are not seen, are eternal.

heaven.

5:2. For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our

because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which is
mortal may be swallowed up by life.

5:5. Now he that maketh us for this very thing is God, who hath given us

5:6. Therefore having always confidence, knowing that while we are in
the body we are absent from the Lord.

5:7. (For we walk by faith and not by sight.)

5:8. But we are confident and have a good will to be absent rather from
the body and to be present with the Lord.

5:9. And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please him.

5:10. For we must al
