2 Corinthians 1:8-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
8 For (A)we do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our (B)affliction which came to us in [a](C)Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life; 9 [b]indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; 10 who (D)delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, [c]He (E)on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us, 11 you also joining in (F)helping us through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by (G)many persons on our behalf for the favor bestowed on us through the prayers of many.

2 Corinthians 1:8-11
New International Version
8 We do not want you to be uninformed,(A) brothers and sisters,[a] about the troubles we experienced(B) in the province of Asia.(C) 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,(D) who raises the dead.(E) 10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril,(F) and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope(G) that he will continue to deliver us, 11 as you help us by your prayers.(H) Then many will give thanks(I) on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.
