2 Corinthians 1:8-11
New King James Version
Delivered from Suffering
8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of (A)our [a]trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. 9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should (B)not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, 10 (C)who delivered us from so great a death, and [b]does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us, 11 you also (D)helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on [c]our behalf (E)for the gift granted to us through many.

American Standard Version
8 For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 9 [a]yea, we ourselves have had the [b]sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead: 10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver: on whom we have [c]set our hope that he will also still deliver us; 11 ye also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.
