2 Corinthians 1:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ And if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is wrought in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer. Or, if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

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.
