2 Corinthians 1:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 But if we are afflicted, it is (A)for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; 7 and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that (B)as you are partners in our sufferings, so also you are in our comfort.
8 For (C)we do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of our (D)affliction which occurred in [a](E)Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.

New International Version
6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation;(A) if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings,(B) so also you share in our comfort.
8 We do not want you to be uninformed,(C) brothers and sisters,[a] about the troubles we experienced(D) in the province of Asia.(E) We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself.
