But thanks [be] to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ, and who reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of him through us in every place.

always carrying around the death of Jesus in our body, in order that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

Therefore, [although we are] always confident and know that [while we] are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord--

as grieving, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and possessing everything.
