2 Corinthians 1:8-11

ACV(i) 8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about our affliction that happened to us in Asia, because we were extraordinarily weighed down, above strength, so as for us to despair even to be alive. 9 But we ourselves have had the sentence of death in ourselves, so that we should not be trusting in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead. 10 Who rescued us out of so great a death, and does rescue, in whom we have hoped that he will also still rescue. 11 And of you who help together by supplication for us (a gift for us from many persons, because of many), so that there may be gratitude about you.
