2 Corinthians 1:9

Ἀλλὰ αὐτοὶ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς τὸ ἀπόκριμα τοῦ θανάτου ἐσχήκαμεν, ἵνα μὴ πεποιθότες ὦμεν ἐφ' ἑαυτοῖς ἀλλ' ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ τῷ ἐγείροντι τοὺς νεκρούς·
Alla aytoi en eaytois to apokrima toy thanatoy eschēkamen, ina mē pepoithotes ōmen eph' eaytois all' epi tō Theō tō egeironti toys nekroys·
King James Version (KJV)

But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

Modern English

Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.
