23 Are they servants of Christ? I speak as being beside myself—I too above measure: in labors more abundantly, in imprisonments more abundantly, in beatings surpassingly, in deaths often. 24 Five times I received from the Jews forty lashes minus 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 in journeyings often, in dangers of rivers, in dangers of robbers; in dangers from kindred, in dangers from the Gentiles; in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness; in dangers in the sea, in dangers among false brothers; 27 in labor and toil, in sleepless nights often; in hunger and thirst, in fastings often; in cold and nakedness. 28 Apart from the external things, the crowding on me on every day is the care of all the churches. 2 Corinthians 11:23-28, Berean Literal Bible.
