2 Corinthians 1:7-9
New Life Version
2 Corinthians 1:7-9
New Life Version
7 Our hope for you is the same all the time. We know you are sharing our troubles. And so you will share the comfort we receive.
8 We want you to know, Christian brothers, of the trouble we had in the countries of Asia. The load was so heavy we did not have the strength to keep going. At times we did not think we could live. 9 We thought we would die. This happened so we would not put our trust in ourselves, but in God Who raises the dead.

New International Version
2 Corinthians 1:7-9
New International Version
7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings,(A) so also you share in our comfort.
8 We do not want you to be uninformed,(B) brothers and sisters,[a] about the troubles we experienced(C) in the province of Asia.(D) We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God,(E) who raises the dead.(F)
