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. 2 Corinthians 11:25-33, Literal Standard Version.
