2 Corinthians 1:8-11 - God Rescued Paul When He Was Suffering

8 Because, brothers, we would not have you ignore our tribulation which was done unto us in Asia, that we were burdened beyond our strength, in such a manner that we despaired even of life: 9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; 10 who delivered us from so great a death and does deliver; in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us; 11 ye also helping us with prayer, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
