Troubled

For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our distress which came upon us in Asia, that it was exceedingly heavy upon us beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life;

but as Gods ministers recommending ourselves in all things, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

For indeed when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as beside myself,) I am more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often;

Yet

For which cause we are not fainthearted; but though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then am I strong.

And not only so, but we rejoice in afflictions also, knowing that affliction produceth endurance,

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ for us? Shall affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?

Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations;

wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a short time, if need be, made sorrowful by manifold trials,

Beloved, be not surprised at the fiery trial which is taking place among you to prove you, as though a strange thing were befalling you;

Not in despair

I will not leave you bereaved; I am coming to you.

No temptation hath come upon you, but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted beyond what ye are able to endure, but will with the temptation furnish also the way to escape, that ye may be able to endure it.
