2 Corinthians 1:6

6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer;

2 Corinthians 4:8

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

2 Corinthians 7:5

5 For even when we came into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side: conflicts without, fears within.
