我们处处受困，却不被捆住；内心困扰，却没有绝望；

我隨在遇難而不阨窮、顚連而不失望、

我常患難而不阨窮、顛連而不失望、

我諸事諸事或作隨在遇患難而不窮迫、遇顛沛而不失望、

故吾人雖四面受迫而未陷絕境也；雖進退維谷、而未淪末路也；

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;

We are pushed hard from all sides. But we are not beaten down. We are bewildered. But that doesn’t make us lose hope.

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.

We are afflicted in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair;

we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;

We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

we are pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;

We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair;

[ We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed;[ we are] perplexed, but not in despair;

We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we are perplexed, but not driven to despair;

We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (niv)

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. (niv)

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?As it is written:“ For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (niv)

My adversaries pursue me all day long; in their pride many are attacking me.When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. (niv)

That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (niv)

For when we came into Macedonia, we had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn— conflicts on the outside, fears within. (niv)

In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith— of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire— may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. (niv)

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;perseverance, character; and character, hope.And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. (niv)

but the Lord will not leave them in the power of the wicked or let them be condemned when brought to trial. (niv)

I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. (niv)

His wife said to him,“ Are you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die!”He replied,“ You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said. (niv)

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. (niv)

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. (niv)

Samuel said to Saul,“ Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?”“ I am in great distress,” Saul said.“ The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.” (niv)

Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge. (niv)

We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself.Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, (niv)

David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God. (niv)

Are they servants of Christ?( I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again.Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea,I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers.I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked.Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn?If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. (niv)

Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; (niv)

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. (niv)

Saul said to his armor-bearer,“ Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and run me through and abuse me.” But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it. (niv)
