2 Corinthians 1:7-9

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁷ Brothers, we want you to know about the trouble we had in the country of Asia Minor. We were not strong enough to carry such a load of trouble. It was so heavy we thought we would die.

⁸ Yes, we really felt our time had come to die. This was to make us trust, not in ourselves, but in God. He brings people back to life.

⁹ He saved us from the death that was so near, and he still saves us. We believe that God will keep on saving us.
