5 Because, as the sufferings of Messiah overflow in us, so our comfort also overflows through Messiah.
6 And if we suffer pressure, it is for your comfort and deliverance, being worked out in enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort and deliverance.
7 And our expectation for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are sharing in the sufferings – so also in the comfort.
8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, of our pressure which came to us in Asia, that we were weighed down, exceedingly, beyond ability, so that we despaired even of life.
9 Indeed, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in Elohim who raises the dead,
10 who rescued us from so great a death, and does rescue, in whom we trust that He shall still rescue us,
11 you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks shall be given by many on our behalf for the favour bestowed upon us through many.
