2 Corinthians 1:8–14

8 For qwe would not, brethren, have you ignorant of rour trouble which came to us in sAsia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we tdespaired even of life: 9 But ttwe had the ||sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not utrust in ourselves, but vin God wwhich raiseth the dead: 10 xWho delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us; 11 yYe also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us zby the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

12 For our rejoicing is this, athe testimony of our conscience, that in bsimplicity and godly csincerity, dnot with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 13 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end; 14 As also ye have acknowledged us ein part, that we are your frejoicing, even as ye also are ours gin the day of the Lord Jesus.
