2 Corinthians 1:8-11 For we would not have you ignorant of our trouble, brethren, which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed down beyond measure, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.

RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ For we would not have you ignorant of our trouble, brethren, which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed down beyond measure, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life. ⁹ Indeed, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead: ¹⁰ Who has delivered us from so deadly a peril, and who will deliver us: we trust in him, that he will deliver us again, ¹¹ As you help by praying for us. Then thanks will be given by many on our behalf for the favour bestowed upon us by the prayers of many.
