2 Corinthians 1:8-11 - God Rescued Paul When He Was Suffering
8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which came upon us in Asia, that we were exceedingly oppressed, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life. 9 But we have in ourselves the sentence of death, that we may not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead; 10 who delivered us from so great a death, and does still deliver us: in whom we have confidence, that he will continue to deliver us, 11 if you also unite in prayer for our aid, that the favor bestowed on us, through the intercession of many persons, may cause thanks to be given by many for us.
