2 Corinthians 1:8

Compare all

6 Now if we are afflicted, ^ait is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

7 And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that ^aas you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.

Delivered from Suffering

8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of ^aour trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.

9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should ^anot trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead,

10 ^awho delivered us from so great a death, and¹ does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us,

11 you also ^ahelping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on¹ our behalf ^bfor the gift granted to us through many.

Paul’s Sincerity

12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in¹ simplicity and ^agodly sincerity, ^bnot with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.
