A.T. Robertson Commentary
"always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body." — 2 Corinthians 4:10 (ASV)
Bearing about (περιφεροντες). Ignatius was called Θεοφορος, God-bearer. See 1 Corinthians 15:31 where Paul says "I die daily" and Php 3:10; Colossians 1:24.
The dying of Jesus (την νεκρωσιν του Ιησου). Late word from νεκροω, to put to death. In Galen. In N.T. only here and Ro 4:19.
