New International Version NIV
23 They are the ministers of Christ (I speak as one less wise): I am more; in many more labours, in prisons more frequently, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.
23
Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again.
24 Of the Jews five times did I receive forty stripes save one.
24
Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
25 Thrice was I beaten with rods: once I was stoned: thrice I suffered shipwreck: a night and a day I was in the depth of the sea.
25
Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea,
26 In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own nation, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils from false brethren:
26
I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers.
27 In labour and painfulness, in much watchings, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness:
27
I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked.
28 Besides those things which are without: my daily instance, the solicitude for all the churches.
28
Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is scandalized, and I am not on fire?
29
Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn?
30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my infirmity.
30
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knoweth that I lie not.
31
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever, knows that I am not lying.
