2 Corinthians 1:6-8

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁶ Our hope for you is strong. If you have the same trouble we have had, then you will also have the same comfort and help we have. This we know.

⁷ Brothers, we want you to know about the trouble we had in the country of Asia Minor. We were not strong enough to carry such a load of trouble. It was so heavy we thought we would die.

⁸ Yes, we really felt our time had come to die. This was to make us trust, not in ourselves, but in God. He brings people back to life.
