Contextual Overview
8 In all things we suffer tribulation: but are not distressed. We are straitened: but are not destitute. 9 We suffer persecution: but are not forsaken. We are cast down: but we perish not. 10 Always bearing about in our body the mortification of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodies. 11 For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake: that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us: but life in you. 13 But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed, for which cause I have spoken; we also believe. For which cause we speak also: 14 Knowing that he who raised up Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus and place us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes: that the grace, abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God. 16 For which cause we faint not: but though our outward man is corrupted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation worketh for us above measure, exceedingly an eternal weight of glory.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
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 2 Corinthians 4:10, by bearing about in the body the dying the Lord Jesus; see the note on 1 Corinthians 15:31.
In our mortal flesh - In our body. In our life on earth; and in our glorified body in heaven; see the note on 2 Corinthians 4:10.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Corinthians 4:11. For we which live — And yet, although we are preserved alive, we are in such continual dangers that we carry our life in our hands, and are constantly in the spirit of sacrifice. But the life-the preserving power, of Christ is manifest in our continual support.
