Troubled

For we wish you not to be ignorant, brothers, of our affliction which befell us in Asia, that we were exceedingly oppressed beyond our power, so that we despaired even of life;

but in every thing commending ourselves as ministers of God, in great patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

For when we came into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were distressed on every hand; without were conflicts, within fears;

Are they ministers of Christ? I speak foolishly, I am more; in labors most abundant, in stripes above measure, in imprisonments most abundant, in deaths often;

Yet

Wherefore we faint not, but if our outward man is destroyed our inward man is renewed day by day.

Most gladly, therefore, will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Wherefore I am well pleased with infirmities, with injuries, with necessities, with persecutions, with distresses for Christ; for when I am weak, then am I strong.

And not only [this], but we rejoice also in afflictions, knowing that affliction works out patience,

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

Account it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various trials,

In which you rejoice, though now for a little while if need be made sad by manifold trials,

BELOVED, think not strange of the fiery trial which is to try you, as if some strange thing happened to you,

Not in despair

I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

For no trial has befallen you but what is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tried beyond what you are able, but with the trial will order the event, that you may be able to endure.

And I was with you in weakness, and with fear and with much trembling,

Why also do we encounter danger every hour?
