2 Corinthians 6:9

9 as if dying and yet truly alive; as if chastised and yet not subdued; ^{▼▼6:9The word ‘mortificati’ in this context does not refer to death itself, but to the mortification of the flesh by temporal punishment; the meaning is that the Christian is castigated (severely punished with bodily sufferings) by the unbelievers, but is not subdued so as to turn away from Christ.(Conte)}
