For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.
Yet for your sake we are killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.
As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
I protest, brothers, by my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day!
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
As when one plows and breaks up the earth, so shall our bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
