Discovery Box2 Corinthians 4:8-10 
Context4:8 We are experiencing trouble on every side, 1 but are not crushed; we are perplexed, 2 but not driven to despair; 4:9 we are persecuted, but not abandoned; 3 we are knocked down, 4 but not destroyed, 4:10 always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus, 5 so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible 6 in our body.
2 Corinthians 4:16
Context4:16 Therefore we do not despair, 7 but even if our physical body 8 is wearing away, our inner person 9 is being renewed day by day.
1 tn Grk “we are hard pressed [by crowds] on every side.”
2 tn Or “at a loss.”
3 tn Or “forsaken.”
4 tn Or “badly hurt.” It is possible to interpret καταβαλλόμενοι (kataballomenoi) here as “badly hurt”: “[we are] badly hurt, but not destroyed” (L&N 20.21).
5 tn The first clause of 2 Cor 4:10 is elliptical and apparently refers to the fact that Paul was constantly in danger of dying in the same way Jesus died (by violence at least). According to L&N 23.99 it could be translated, “at all times we live in the constant threat of being killed as Jesus was.”
6 tn Or “may also be revealed.”
7 tn Or “do not lose heart.”
8 tn Grk “our outer man.”
9 tn Grk “our inner [man].”
