2 Corinthians 11:21-33 (New Revised Standard)
21
To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone dares to boast of—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast of that.
22
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
23
Are they ministers of Christ? I am talking like a madman—I am a better one: with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless floggings, and often near death.
24
Five times I have received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
25
Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I received a stoning. Three times I was shipwrecked; for a night and a day I was adrift at sea;
26
on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from bandits, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers and sisters; a
27
in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, hungry and thirsty, often without food, cold and naked.
28
And, besides other things, I am under daily pressure because of my anxiety for all the churches.
29
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I am not indignant?
30
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
31
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus (blessed be he forever!) knows that I do not lie.
32
In Damascus, the governor b under King Aretas guarded the city of Damascus in order to c seize me,
33
but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, d and escaped from his hands.
