2 Corinthians 1:8-9 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding the distress that came on us in Asia — that we were exceedingly weighed down, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding the distress that came on us in Asia — that we were exceedingly weighed down, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life. ⁹ Indeed we have the sentence of death within ourselves, that our trust may not rest on ourselves, but on God who raises the dead.
