And our hope of you is &s;tedfa&s;t; knowing that as you are partakers of the &s;ufferings, &s;o al&s;o you &s;hall be of the con&s;olation. For we would not, Brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in <HI>A&s;ia,</HI> that we were pre&s;&s;ed out of mea&s;ure above &s;trength, in &s;o much that wee de&s;paired even of life.
