Now the Bible doesn't tell us exactly what happened or what they were going through, only that what they were going through was crushing, was crushing. It was serious enough that that Paul thought they were going to die. Paul thought that death was inevitable. Whatever the trouble was, it broke him completely, broke him down completely, and it was there at the lowest point when he thought they were going to perish that Paul found comfort. That's where he found it. And we might even say that it's better said that comfort found him.
