2 Corinthians4:11
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, (Acts 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 2Cor 4:10, by bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus. 1Cor 15:31.
In our mortal flesh. In our body. In our life on earth; and in our glorified body in heaven. 2Cor 4:10.
(*) "live" "are alive" (a) "alway delivered" 1Cor 15:31,49
