G1820–ἐξαπορέω–exaporeō

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened [ergänzt: to us] in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond [ergänzt: our] power, so as to despair even of living.

ἐξαπορηθῆναι exaporēthēnai “to despair”

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

ἐξαπορούμενοι, exaporoumenoi “despairing,”
