Context of 2 Corinthians 1:11
9In fact, we had within ourselves the death sentence—so that we might not rely on ourselves, but on God who raises the dead. 10He who rescued us from so great a danger of death will continue to rescue us—we have set our hope on Him that He will rescue us again. You also are helping by your prayer for us, so that from many people thanks may be given on our behalf for the gracious gift given us through the help of many. 12For our reason for boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world, and most especially toward you, with simplicity and godly sincerity—not by human wisdom but by the grace of God. 13For we write nothing to you other than what you can read and understand—and I hope you will understand in full

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11Ye also helping together by prayer for us - Tyndale renders this in connection with the close of the previous verse; “we trust that yet hereafter he will deliver us, by the help of your prayer for us.” The word rendered “helping together,” means cooperating, aiding, assisting; and the idea is, that Paul felt that his trials might be turned to good account, and give occasion for thanksgiving; and that this was to be accomplished by the aid of the prayers…Read the comment
