2 Corinthians 1:7-9

7 that our hope be firm for you; witting for as ye be fellows of passions, so ye shall be also of comfort.

8 For, brethren, we will, that ye know of our tribulation, that was done in Asia; for over-measure we were grieved over-might [or above virtue], so that it distressed us, yea, to live.

9 But we in us-selves had answer, [or certainty], of death, that we trust not in us, but in God that raiseth dead men.
