2 Corinthians 1:8 in Context — 2 Corinthians 1
6 Si nous sommes affligés, c’est pour votre consolation et pour votre salut; si nous sommes consolés, c’est pour votre consolation, qui se réalise par la patience à supporter les mêmes souffrances que nous endurons.
7 Et notre espérance à votre égard est ferme, parce que nous savons que, si vous avez part aux souffrances, vous avez part aussi à la consolation.
8 Nous ne voulons pas, en effet, vous laisser ignorer, frères, au sujet de la tribulation qui nous est survenue en Asie, que nous avons été excessivement accablés, au-delà de nos forces, de telle sorte que nous désespérions même de conserver la vie.
9 Et nous regardions comme certain notre arrêt de mort, afin de ne pas placer notre confiance en nous-mêmes, mais de la placer en Dieu, qui ressuscite les morts.
10 C’est lui qui nous a délivrés et qui nous délivrera d’une telle mort, lui de qui nous espérons qu’il nous délivrera encore,
