2 Corinthians 1:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ If we have troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation, and if we have comfort, you also have comfort. This helps you to accept patiently the same sufferings we have. ⁷ Our hope for you is strong, knowing that you share in our sufferings and also in the comfort we receive.

⁸ Brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the trouble we suffered in Asia. We had great burdens there that were beyond our own strength. We even gave up hope of living.
