2 Corinthians 1:8-11 For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of that insupportable weight of affliction that over-whelm'd me so in Asia that I despaired even of life:

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of that insupportable weight of affliction that over-whelm'd me so in Asia that I despaired even of life: ⁹ nay, I abandon'd my self to death, that I might not rely upon my self for deliverance, but on God who raiseth the dead. ¹⁰ and he did deliver me from so terrible a death, and on him I have relied for further deliverance: especially, ¹¹ being assisted by your prayers for me, so that thanks may be returned by many, for the gracious deliverance procur'd me by their prayers.
