2 Corinthians 1:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ That our hope for you may be steadfast: knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation.

⁸ For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation, which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure above our strength, so that we were weary even of life.

⁹ But we had in ourselves the answer of death, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead.
