2 Corinthians 1:6-8
Worldwide English (New Testament)
6 Our hope for you is strong. If you have the same trouble we have had, then you will also have the same comfort and help we have. This we know.
7 Brothers, we want you to know about the trouble we had in the country of Asia Minor. We were not strong enough to carry such a load of trouble. It was so heavy we thought we would die.
8 Yes, we really felt our time had come to die. This was to make us trust, not in ourselves, but in God. He brings people back to life.

2 Corinthians 1:6-8
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.
