2 Corinthians 11:21-33 (Revised Standard Version)
21
To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever any one 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 servants of Christ? I am a better one--I am talking like a madman--with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death.
24
Five times I have received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one.
25
Three times I have been beaten with rods; once I was stoned. Three times I have been shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been adrift at sea;
26
on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brethren;
27
in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.
28
And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure upon me of my anxiety for all the churches.
29
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, 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, he who is blessed for ever, knows that I do not lie.
32
At Damascus, the governor under King Ar'etas guarded the city of Damascus in order to seize me,
33
but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped his hands.
