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

8 For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, of the trouble which befell us in Asia, that we were exceedingly pressed, above our strength, so that we despaired even of life. 9 Yea, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raiseth the dead: 10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust, that he will still deliver: 11 You likewise helping together with us by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many persons, thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
