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.
12. For our boasting is this: the witness of our conscience that we behaved ourselves in the world in simplicity and sincerity of Elohim, not in fleshly wisdom but in the favour of Elohim, and much more toward you.
13. For we are not writing any other matters to you than what you read or understand. Now I trust you shall understand, even to the end,
14. as also you have understood us in part, that we are your boast as you also are ours, in the day of the Master יהושע.
