☀️ 8 - For we [Paul, Timothy and others] don’t want you to be unaware of how much we suffered in Asia. We were so utterly burdened beyond our endurance that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt like we had received the sentence of death. But! That was to make us rely, not upon ourselves, but upon God, who raises the dead.
10 He delivered us from deadly peril, and he will continue to deliver us. On him we have set our hope [elpizó - to hope, expect and trust] that he will deliver us again. 11 You also must help us by your prayers, so everyone will be thankful for the blessing granted to us because of their prayers.
12 For our boast is this - we have peace of conscience, for we have behaved in the world with simplicity and with godly sincerity. Not with earthly, human wisdom, but with God’s {gracious} grace. And especially toward you. 13 There’s no hidden meaning in what I write and what you read. What you read you read rightly in its plain and simple sense in the hope {expectation, trust} you will fully understand. 14 Just as you have already, partly understood. And on the day of our Lord Jesus, we shall rejoice and celebrate together!
