2 Corinthians 1:8
For it is our desire that you may not be without knowledge of our trouble which came on us in Asia, that the weight of it was very great, more than our power, so that it seemed that we had no hope even of life:

--------------------

2 Corinthians 1:9
Yes, we ourselves have had the answer of death in ourselves, so that our hope might not be in ourselves, but in God who is able to give life to the dead:

1 Corinthians 15:32
If, after the way of men, I was fighting with beasts at Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead do not come to life again, let us take our pleasure in feasting, for tomorrow we come to an end.

2 Corinthians 4:8
Troubles are round us on every side, but we are not shut in; things are hard for us, but we see a way out of them;

2 Corinthians 4:9
We are cruelly attacked, but not without hope; we are made low, but we are not without help;

2 Corinthians 4:10
In our bodies there is ever the mark of the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our bodies.

2 Corinthians 4:11
For, while living, we are still being given up to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our flesh, though it is under the power of death.

Galatians 1:13
For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it:

Romans 7:13
Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.
