NETBible

Indeed we felt as if the sentence of death had been passed against us,¹ so that we would not trust in ourselves² but in God who raises the dead.

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “we ourselves had the sentence of death within ourselves.” Here ἀπόκριμα (apokrima) is being used figuratively; no actual official verdict had been given, but in light of all the difficulties that Paul and his colleagues had suffered, it seemed to them as though such an official verdict had been rendered against them (L&N 56.26).

²tn Or “might not put confidence in ourselves.”
