2 Corinthians 4:12 Douay-Rheims

So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

"So then death worketh in us, but life in you."

Speaking no more of death in the strict sense, but of trials and of rest. 'For we indeed,' he says, 'are in perils and trials, but ye in rest; reaping the life which is the fruit of these perils. And we indeed endure the dangerous, but ye enjoy the good things; for ye undergo not so great trials.'
