<p>4:10 <i>Always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body- </i>All Paul's sufferings listed in :8 and :9 he understood as a fellowshipping of the Lord's. Whilst we cannot attach meaning to event at the time, all our sufferings are part of His. This explains the breadth and depth of His sufferings; through them, He in essence can connect with all our sufferings. And those sufferings are given to us, as some form of manifestation of His sufferings. And just as surely, the resurrection life of Jesus will be manifested in our body, both in this life (:11) and in the resurrection body at the last day.<i><br /></i>Through <i>our personal </i>dying to the flesh, the life of Christ is manifest not only in us, but is made available to others: &ldquo;So then death worketh in us, but life in you&rdquo; (2 Cor 4:12). The life that is even now made manifest <i>in us</i> is also made available to work in others because death to the flesh has worked in us personally.</p><p>Paul speaks here as if he full well understood the ongoing nature of the Lord&rsquo;s crucifixion, and saw it as the pattern of his daily living.<br />The almost terrifying thing is that <i>we,</i> for the sake of our identity with Christ, are also &quot;delivered up to death&quot; (2 Cor. 4:11). We are asked to share, in principle, the height of devotion that He reached in that moment. Analysing 2 Cor. 4:10,11 in more detail, we find a number of parallels:</p><table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=863>    <tbody>        <tr>            <td width=431 valign=top>            <p>v. 10</p>            </td>            <td width=431 valign=top>            <p>v. 11</p>            </td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td width=431 valign=top>            <p>Always</p>            </td>            <td width=431 valign=top>            <p>For we which live are alway</p>            </td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td width=431 valign=top>            <p>bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord   Jesus</p>            </td>            <td width=431 valign=top>            <p>delivered unto death for Jesus&rsquo; sake</p>            </td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td width=431 valign=top>            <p>that the life also of Jesus</p>            </td>            <td width=431 valign=top>            <p>that the life also of Jesus</p>            </td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td width=431 valign=top>            <p>might be manifest in our body</p>            </td>            <td width=431 valign=top>            <p>might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.</p>            </td>        </tr>    </tbody></table><p>The second parallel is significant. To be delivered unto death for Jesus&rsquo; sake is to bear about in an ongoing sense His crucifixion. This means that His being &ldquo;delivered over&quot; was seen by Paul as a cameo of His whole sufferings on the cross. See on Mt. 27:26.</p>
