2 Corinthians 1:8-11 For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, insomuch that we despaired even of life:

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, insomuch that we despaired even of life: ⁹ yea, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead: ¹⁰ who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver; on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us, ¹¹ ye also helping together on our behalf by your supplication, that, for the gift bestowed upon you by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.
