Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 1:10

10 Who delivered us from so great a death , and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us .

So great a death, in this Text signifies no more than so great a tryal of affliction; as he elsewhere saith, he was in deaths often, that is, in dangers of death.

Nor (saith the Apostle) were we only at that time in danger of our lives, nor had we only, at that time, an experience of Gods Power, Goodness, and Faithfulness in our deliverance; but we are in jeopardy every hour, and experience the Power of God in our deliverance yet every day. And it being for the advantage of the Church of Christ, that our lives should be prolonged, (though we desire rather to be dissolved, and to be with Christ) we are confident that he will yet deliver. Former experiences of Gods goodness in delivering us out of troubles, ought to increase our Faith, and beget a confidence in us, that God will deliver us, (if it may be for his own Glory, and our good.)
