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
Revised Standard Version
8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of the affliction we experienced in Asia; for we were so utterly, unbearably crushed that we despaired of life itself. 9 Why, we felt that we had received the sentence of death; but that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead; 10 he delivered us from so deadly a peril, and he will deliver us; on him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again. 11 You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us in answer to many prayers.
