2 Corinthians 1:11

Prayer Gratitude Fellowship and the church

⁹ Indeed, we felt we were under the sentence of death, in order that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead.

¹⁰ He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. In Him we have placed our hope that He will yet again deliver us,

as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.

¹² And this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in relation to you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God—not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God.

¹³ For we do not write you anything that is beyond your ability to read and understand. And I hope that you will understand us completely,

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
