7
And our hope for you is firm, because we know that as you share in the sufferings, so you will share in the comfort.
2 Corinthians 1:7 In-Context
5
For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
6
If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; 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, so also you share in our comfort.
8
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. 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, who raises the dead.
