ISV(i)
21 I am ashamed to admit it, but we have been too weak for that. Whatever anyone else dares to claim—I am talking like a fool—I can claim it, too.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelis? So am I. Are they among Abraham’s descendants? So am I.
23 Are they the Messiah’s servants? I am insane to talk like this, but I am a far better one! I have been involved in far greater efforts, far more imprisonments, countless beatings, and have faced death more than once.
