8 FOR I would have you to know, my brethren, of the affliction that befell us in Asia: for we were greatly pressed beyond our strength, until our life was nigh to be dissolved,
9 and because of these we had concluded (for) death;[Phasakan mautho.] that we should not have hope in ourselves, but in Aloha, who raiseth the dead:
10 who from deaths of violence delivered us, and who will again, we trust, deliver us,
11 through the help of your prayers for us; that his gift towards us may be a benefit effected for many, and many may praise him on our behalf.
