In Him we have placed our hope that He will yet again deliver us, 11as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.…

2 Corinthians 1
1. Paul salutes the Corinthians;
3. he encourages them against troubles,
5. by the comforts and deliverances which God had given him,
8. so particularly in his late danger in Asia.
12. And calling both his own conscience and theirs,
15. he excuses his not coming to them, as proceeding not of lightness,
23. but of his care for them.














He has delivered us
The Greek word for "delivered" here is "rhuomai," which means to rescue or save from danger. This word emphasizes God's active role in rescuing believers from peril. Historically, Paul faced numerous life-threatening situations, including persecution and imprisonment. This phrase reflects the assurance that God has intervened in the past, providing a foundation for trust in His continued protection.

from such a deadly peril
The term "deadly peril" suggests a threat to life itself, possibly referring to Paul's experiences of physical danger or spiritual trials. The historical context of Paul's ministry, filled with shipwrecks, beatings, and imprisonments, underscores the severity of the perils he faced. This phrase serves as a reminder of the reality of suffering in the Christian life, yet also of God's power to save from even the most dire circumstances.

and He will deliver us
The future tense "will deliver" indicates Paul's confidence in God's ongoing protection. The Greek verb "rhuomai" is used again, reinforcing the idea of God's consistent and reliable deliverance. This reflects a deep trust in God's unchanging nature and His promises, encouraging believers to maintain faith in God's future interventions based on His past faithfulness.

In Him we have placed our hope
The phrase "placed our hope" comes from the Greek "elpizo," meaning to expect or trust. This expression of hope is not a passive wish but an active, confident expectation rooted in God's character and promises. Theologically, hope is a central theme in Christianity, representing the assurance of salvation and eternal life through Christ. This hope is not in human strength or wisdom but solely in God.

that He will yet again deliver us
The repetition of "deliver" emphasizes the certainty and continuity of God's saving actions. The phrase "yet again" suggests that deliverance is not a one-time event but a recurring experience in the believer's life. This reflects the ongoing nature of the Christian journey, where believers continually face challenges but can rely on God's perpetual deliverance. Historically, Paul's life exemplifies this cycle of peril and divine rescue, serving as a testament to God's faithfulness.

(10) Who delivered us from so great a death.--Death in itself seems hardly to admit of such a qualifying adjective, but the words appear to have been used to represent the incidents of the death which seemed so near, the bodily anguish, the sense of prostration, almost, one might venture to say, the very presence of the king of terrors. As the word translated "so great" is strictly speaking, used of quality rather than quantity, we might almost translate it, so terrible a death.

And doth deliver.--The words are wanting in some of the better MSS., and others give them in the future. They may possibly have been inserted to carry the thought of the deliverance into the present as well as through the past and the future.

In whom we trust.--Better, in whom we have hoped. The verb is not the same as the "trust" of the preceding verse. The words imply that he was not yet altogether free, as man would judge, from the danger of a relapse. Life was for him, in relation both to bodily infirmities and perils of other kinds, a perpetual series of deliverances.

Verse 10. - From so great a death. From a state of dejection and despair, which seemed to show death in all its power (see 2 Corinthians 4:10-12). And doth deliver. Perhaps a pious marginal gloss which has crept into the text of some manuscripts. We trust; rather, we have set our hope. That. This word is omitted in some good manuscripts, as also are the words, "and doth deliver." He will yet deliver us. This implies either that the perils alluded to were not yet absolutely at an end, or St. Paul s consciousness that many a peril of equal intensity lay before him in the future.
