2 Corinthians 1:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ And our hope is steadfast concerning you, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you also be of the consolation.

⁸ For brothers, we would not have you be ignorant of our affliction, which came to us in Asia; how we were pressed beyond measure, passing strength, so that we utterly despaired, even of life.

⁹ But, we received the sentence of death in ourselves, because we should not rest in ourselves, but in God, Who raised the dead.
