2 Corinthians 1:8-11
Legacy Standard Bible
8 For (A)we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, 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 to live. 9 [b]Indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not have confidence in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; 10 who (D)rescued us from so great a peril of death, and will rescue us, [c]He (E)on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet rescue us, 11 you also joining in (F)helping us through your prayers on our behalf, so that thanks may be given on our behalf by (G)many persons for the gracious gift 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.
