2 Corinthians 1:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 Who delivered us from so [a]great a death, and doth deliver us: in whom we trust, that yet hereafter he will deliver us.
11 (A)[b]So that ye labor together in prayer for us, [c]that for the gift bestowed upon us for many, thanks may be given by many persons for us.
12 [d]For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly [e]pureness, and not in fleshly wisdom, but by the [f]grace of God we have had our conversation in the world, and most of all to youwards.
