2 Corinthians 1:9-12

21st Century King James Version

⁹ But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raiseth the dead,

¹⁰ who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver us, in whom we trust that He will yet deliver us.

¹¹ Ye also helped by praying together for us, so that for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many persons, thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

¹² For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience: that we have had our discourse in the world, and more abundantly toward you, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God in simplicity and godly sincerity.
