哥林多後書 1:8

弟兄們，我們不要你們不曉得，我們從前在亞細亞遭遇苦難，被壓太重，力不能勝，甚至連活命的指望都絕了；

dì xiōng men ， wǒ men bú yào nǐ men bù xiǎo de ， wǒ men cóng qián zài yà xì yà zāo yù kǔ nán ， 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.
