2 Corinthians 1:7-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 And our hope(A) for you is firm, because we know that as you share(B) in the sufferings, so you will share in the comfort.
8 For we don’t want you to be unaware, brothers, of our affliction that took place in Asia:(C) we were completely overwhelmed—beyond our strength(D)—so that we even despaired(E) of life. 9 Indeed, we personally had a death sentence within ourselves, so that we would not trust in ourselves but in God(F) who raises(G) the dead.

2 Corinthians 1:7-9
New International Version
7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings,(A) so also you share in our comfort.
8 We do not want you to be uninformed,(B) brothers and sisters,[a] about the troubles we experienced(C) in the province of Asia.(D) We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God,(E) who raises the dead.(F)
