2 Corinthians 11:22-33 ▼

22 Are they Hebrews? I also! Are they Israelites? I also! Are they seed of Abraham? I also!

23 Are they servants of Christ? As [if] beside myself I speak—I [am] more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times.

24 Five times I received from Jews forty [stripes] except one;

25 three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I have passed a night and a day in the deep;

26 journeys many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from [my own] race, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brothers;

27 in laboriousness and painfulness, many times in watchings, in hunger and thirst, many times in fastings, in cold and nakedness;

28 apart from the things without—the crowding on me that is daily—the care of all the assemblies.

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is stumbled, and I am not burned?

30 If it is necessary to boast, I will boast of the things of my weakness;

31 the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ—who is blessed for all ages—has known that I do not lie!

32 In Damascus the governor [under] Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,

33 and I was let down through a window in a rope basket, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.
