Read 2 Corinthians 1.8-14
In 1.8-14: Paul's recent despair.
Affliction ... in Asia: The circumstances of this crisis are not known.
It may refer to the riot described in Acts 19.23-41.
In verse 9: Sentence of death need not mean legal punishment.
It is probably a figure of speech for a chose shave with death.
In verse 12: Boast here and in v. 14 is used in a positive sense, meaning "source of pride" (Phil 2.16).
Frankness, sometimes rendered "simplicity," is being straight forward in one's dealings.
In verses 13-14: End ... day of the Lord Jesus refers to the time of Jesus' return (1 Cor 1.8; Phil 1.6).
