16 I say again, lest any man think that I am foolish: or else even now take me as a fool, that I may boast myself a little.
17 That I speak, I speak it not after the ways of the Lord: but as it were foolishly, while we are now come to boasting.
18 Seeing that many rejoice after the flesh, I will rejoice also.
19 For ye suffer fools gladly because that ye yourselves are wise.
20 For ye suffer even if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour, if a man take, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
21 I speak as concerning rebuke, as though we had been weak. Howbeit, whereinsoever any man dare be bold — I speak foolishly — I dare be bold also.
22 They are Hebrews, so am I. They are Israelites, even so am I. They are the seed of Abraham, even so am I.
23 They are the ministers of Christ — I speak as a fool — I am more: In labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prison more plenteously,
24 in death often. Of the Jews, five times received I, every time, forty stripes, save one.
25 Thrice was I beaten with rods. I was once stoned. I suffered thrice shipwreck. Night and day have I been in the deep of the sea.
26 In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers; in jeopardies of mine own nation, in jeopardies among the heathen. I have been in perils in cities, in perils in wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27 in labour and travail, in watching often, in hunger, in thirst, in fastings often, in cold and in nakedness.
28 And beside the things which outwardly happen unto me, I am cumbered daily and do care for all congregations.
29 Who is sick: and I am not sick? Who is hurt in the faith: and my heart burneth not?
30 If I must needs rejoice, I will rejoice of mine infirmities.
