1 Corinthians 10:11Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.1 Corinthians 11:32But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.2 Corinthians 1:3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,2 Corinthians 1:4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.2 Corinthians 1:5For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.2 Corinthians 1:6If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience.2 Corinthians 1:7And our hope for you is sure, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you will share in our comfort.2 Corinthians 1:8We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.2 Corinthians 1:9Indeed, we felt we were under the sentence of death, in order that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead.2 Corinthians 4:7Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.2 Corinthians 4:8We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;2 Corinthians 4:9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.2 Corinthians 4:10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.2 Corinthians 4:11For we who are alive are always consigned to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal body.2 Corinthians 4:12So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.2 Corinthians 4:16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.2 Corinthians 4:17For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory that is far beyond comparison.2 Corinthians 6:4Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships, and calamities;2 Corinthians 6:5in beatings, imprisonments, and riots; in labor, sleepless nights, and hunger;2 Corinthians 6:6in purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;2 Corinthians 6:7in truthful speech and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;2 Corinthians 6:8through glory and dishonor, slander and praise; viewed as imposters, yet genuine;2 Corinthians 6:9unknown, yet well-known; dying, and yet we live on; punished, yet not killed;2 Corinthians 6:10sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.2 Corinthians 7:4Great is my confidence in you; great is my pride in you; I am filled with encouragement; in all our troubles my joy overflows.2 Corinthians 7:6But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,2 Corinthians 11:23Are they servants of Christ? (I am speaking as if I were out of my mind.) I am so much more: in harder labor, in more imprisonments, in worse beatings, in frequent danger of death.2 Corinthians 11:24Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.2 Corinthians 11:25Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked. I spent a night and a day in the open sea.2 Corinthians 11:26In my frequent journeys, I have been in danger from rivers and from bandits, in danger from my countrymen and from the Gentiles, in danger in the city and in the country, in danger on the sea and among false brothers,2 Corinthians 11:27in labor and toil and often without sleep, in hunger and thirst and often without food, in cold and exposure.2 Corinthians 11:28Apart from these external trials, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.2 Corinthians 11:29Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief?2 Corinthians 11:30If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.2 Corinthians 12:7or because of these surpassingly great revelations. So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.2 Corinthians 12:8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.2 Corinthians 12:9But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.Galatians 6:2Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.Philippians 1:12Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.Philippians 1:13As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.Philippians 1:14And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.Philippians 1:19because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance.Philippians 1:29For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,Philippians 1:30since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.Philippians 2:14Do everything without complaining or arguing,Colossians 1:11being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have full endurance and patience, and joyfully1 Thessalonians 3:3so that none of you would be shaken by these trials. For you know that we are destined for this.1 Thessalonians 4:13Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.1 Thessalonians 4:16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.1 Thessalonians 4:17After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.1 Thessalonians 4:18Therefore encourage one another with these words.2 Thessalonians 1:4That is why we boast among God’s churches about your perseverance and faith in the face of all the persecution and affliction you are enduring.2 Thessalonians 1:5All this is clear evidence of God’s righteous judgment. And so you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.2 Thessalonians 1:6After all, it is only right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,2 Thessalonians 1:7and to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well. This will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels2 Thessalonians 2:16Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who by grace has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope,2 Thessalonians 2:17encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good word and deed.2 Timothy 2:3Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.2 Timothy 2:12if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;2 Timothy 3:11my persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.
