2 Corinthians 11:28-33 ▼

28 Besides those external things, there is the daily [inescapable] pressure of my concern for all the churches.

29 Who is weak, and I do not feel [his] weakness? Who is made to sin, and I am not on fire [with sorrow and concern]?

30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that reveal my weakness [the things by which I am made weak in the eyes of my opponents].

31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed and to be praised forevermore, knows that I am not lying.

32 In Damascus the governor (ethnarch) under King Aretas guarded the city of Damascus in order to arrest me,

33 and I was [actually] let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and slipped through his fingers.
