2 Corinthians 1:8-11

8For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of our trouble that happened in Asia. We were under great pressure—so far beyond our strength that we despaired even of living.

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.

11You 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.
