2 Corinthians 11:23-30

WNT(i) 23 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as if I were out of my mind.) Much more am I His servant; serving Him more thoroughly than they by my labours, and more thoroughly also by my imprisonments, by excessively cruel floggings, and with risk of life many a time. 24 From the Jews I five times have received forty lashes all but one. 25 Three times I have been beaten with Roman rods, once I have been stoned, three times I have been shipwrecked, once for full four and twenty hours I was floating on the open sea. 26 I have served Him by frequent travelling, amid dangers in crossing rivers, dangers from robbers; dangers from my own countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles; dangers in the city, dangers in the Desert, dangers by sea, dangers from spies in our midst; 27 with labour and toil, with many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, in frequent fastings, in cold, and with insufficient clothing. 28 And besides other things, which I pass over, there is that which presses on me daily--my anxiety for all the Churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led astray into sin, and I am not aflame with indignation? 30 If boast I must, it shall be of things which display my weakness.
