6 But, whether we are in tribulation, it is for your encouragement and salvation; whether we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement, which worketh inwardly by the endurance of the same sufferings which, we also, suffer;

7 And so, our hope, is sure in your behalf, knowing that, as ye are sharers of the sufferings, so, also of the encouragement.

8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened in Asia, that, exceedingly, beyond power, were we weighed down, so that we despaired, even of life.
