2 Corinthians 1:8

8
弟兄们，我们不要你们不晓得，我们从前在亚细亚遭遇苦难，被压太重，力不能胜，甚至连活命的指望都绝了；
dì xiōng men ， wǒ men bú yào nǐ men bù xiǎo de ， wǒ men cóng qián zài yà xì yà zāo yù kǔ nàn ， bèi yā tài zhòng ， lì bù néng shèng ， shèn zhì lián huó mìng de zhǐ wàng dōu jué le ；
For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
