8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;

8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

8 We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.

8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

8 We have troubles all around us, but we are not defeated. We do not know what to do, but we do not give up the hope of living.

8 we are pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;

8 every way afflicted, but not straitened; seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up;

8 In every way we’re troubled, but we aren’t crushed by our troubles. We’re frustrated, but we don’t give up.

8 We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair;

8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;

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

8 We are pushed hard from all sides. But we are not beaten down. We are bewildered. But that doesn’t make us lose hope.

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