THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS - Chapter 4 - Verse 11

Verse 11. For we which live. Those of us, the apostles and ministers of the Redeemer, who still survive. James the brother of John had been put to death, (Ac 12:2;) and it is probable also that some other of the apostles had been also. This verse is merely explanatory of the previous verse.

Are alway delivered unto death. Exposed constantly to death. This shows what is meant, in 2 Co 4:10, by bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus. See Barnes "1 Co 15:31".

In our mortal flesh. In our body. In our life on earth; and in our glorified body in heaven. See Barnes "2 Co 4:10".
