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

8 We do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning our affliction that began in Asia. We were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life. 9 Yes, we have had the sentence of death within ourselves that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead. 10 God delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver us. We have set our hope on him. He will deliver us! 11 You also helped with your prayer on our behalf. Many may give thanks for the gift granted to us.
