2 Corinthians 1:8-10 For I do not want you, brothers, to misunderstand the distress that I experienced in Asia, for I was so utterly and unendurably crushed, that I actually despaired of life itself.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ For I do not want you, brothers, to misunderstand the distress that I experienced in Asia, for I was so utterly and unendurably crushed, that I actually despaired of life itself. ⁹ Why, I felt in my heart that the end must be death. That was to keep me from relying on myself instead of on God, who can even raise the dead. ¹⁰ So deadly was the peril from which he saved me, as he will save me again! It is on him that I have set my hope that he will save me again.
