"In all things, we endure tribulation, yet we are not in anguish. We are constrained, yet we are not destitute. "
— 2 Corinthians 4:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;”
“we are pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair; ”
“We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;”
“We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we are perplexed, but not driven to despair;”
“In all things we suffer tribulation: but are not distressed. We are straitened: but are not destitute.”
“Troubles are round us on every side, but we are not shut in; things are hard for us, but we see a way out of them;”
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;”
For we are not preaching about ourselves, but about Jesus Christ our Lord. We are merely your servants through Jesus.
For God, who told the light to shine out of darkness, has shined a light into our hearts, to illuminate the knowledge of the splendor of God, in the person of Christ Jesus.
But we hold this treasure in earthen vessels, so that what is sublime may be of the power of God, and not of us.
In all things, we endure tribulation, yet we are not in anguish. We are constrained, yet we are not destitute.
We suffer persecution, yet we have not been abandoned. We are thrown down, yet we do not perish.
We ever carry around the mortification of Jesus in our bodies, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
For we who live are ever handed over unto death for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh.
