Paul and his associates suffered intense persecution, and he told Corinthian Christians: “You also can help along by your supplication for us, in order that thanks may be given by many in our behalf for what is kindly given to us due to many prayerful faces. ”
Paulus ja tema kaaslased kannatasid tugevat tagakiusamist, ja ta ütles Korintose kristlastele: „Kui ühtlasi ka teie appi tulete palves meie eest, et paljude isikute käest meie heaks tulnud armuanni eest tõuseks tänu paljude suust meie eest. ”
