We do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of the
affliction we experienced in Asia; for we were so utterly, unbearably
crushed that we despaired of life itself. Indeed we felt that we had
received the sentence of death so that we would rely not on ourselves
but on God who raises the dead.
He who rescued us from so deadly a
peril will continue to rescue us; on him we have set our hope that
he will rescue us again, as you also join in helping us by your prayers, so that many will give thanks on
our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.”
- 2 Corinthians 1:8-11 **
