Paul put it this way: “We are pressed in every way, but not cramped beyond movement; we are perplexed, but not absolutely with no way out; we are persecuted, but not left in the lurch; we are thrown down, but not destroyed. ” — 2 Corinthians 4: 8, 9.
Pāvils to izteica šādos vārdos: ” Mēs visur topam spaidīti, bet tomēr neesam nomākti; esam bez padoma, un tomēr neesam izmisuši. Mēs topam vajāti, tomēr neesam atstāti; esam satriekti, tomēr neesam pazuduši. ”
