2 Corinthians 1:9
We had the sentence of death in ourselves - The tribulation was so violent and overwhelming, that he had no hope of escaping death.
That we should not trust in ourselves - The tribulation was of such a nature as to take away all expectation of help but from God alone.
But in God which raiseth the dead - This is very like the business at Lystra; and would be sufficient to fix the apostle' s reference to that fact could the time and other circumstances serve.
