2 Corinthians 1:9 in Context — 2 Corinthians 1

7 E nossa esperança por vós é firme, sabendo que, como sois participantes dos sofrimentos, assim também [sois] da consolação.

8 Porque, irmãos, não queremos que ignoreis nossa aflição que nos sobreveio na Ásia, em que fomos excessivamente oprimidos, mais do que podíamos suportar, de tal modo que já tínhamos perdido a esperança de sobrevivermos.

9 Por isso já tínhamos em nós mesmos a sentença de morte, para que não confiássemos em nós mesmos, mas sim em Deus, que ressuscita aos mortos;

10 O qual nos livrou de tamanha morte, e [ainda nos] livra; nele esperamos que também ainda [nos] livrará;

11 Junto do vosso auxílio com oração por nós, a fim de que, pelo favor [concedido] a nós por causa de muitas pessoas, por muitos sejam dadas graças [a Deus] por nós.
