For we wish you not to be ignorant, brethren, of our pressure having been to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly loaded, above strength, so that we were in utter perplexity even to live:

That we might not be taken advantage of by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his inventions.

As being ignorant, and knowing; as dying, and, behold, we live; as being disciplined, and not killed;

And, if also ignorant in the word, but not in knowledge; but in every thing, we having been made manifest in all for you.
