“For we do not want you to be unaware,
brethren, of our affliction which came to
us in Asia, that we were burdened
excessively, beyond our strength, so
that we despaired even of life; indeed,
we had the sentence of death within
ourselves so that we would not trust in
ourselves, but in God who raises the
dead; who delivered us from so great a
peril of death, and will deliver us, He on
whom we have set our hope. And He
will yet deliver us”
2 Cor. 1:8-11

“Five times I have received from the Jews
the forty lashes minus one. Three times I
was beaten with rods. Once I received a
stoning. Three times I was shipwrecked; for
a night and a day I was adrift at sea; on
frequent journeys, in danger from rivers,
danger from bandits danger from my own
people, danger from the Gentiles, danger in
the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at
sea, danger from false brothers and sisters;
in toil and hardship, through many a
sleepless night, hungry and thirsty, often
without food, cold and naked.”
2 Cor. 11:24-27

“Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting
away, yet inwardly we are being
renewed day by day. For our light
and momentary troubles are
achieving for us an eternal glory
that far outweighs them all. So we
fix our eyes not on what is seen, but
on what is unseen. For what is seen
is temporary, but what is unseen is
eternal.”
