2 Corinthians 11:23-33

NSB(i) 23 Are they ministers of Christ? I speak as a fool. I am more in labors more abundant, beaten beyond number, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often. 24 Of the Jews five times I received forty stripes less one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, I suffered shipwreck three times, a night and a day I have spent in the deep. 26 In journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by my own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brothers; 27 In weariness and painfulness, in watching often, in hunger and thirst, in fasting often, in cold and nakedness. 28 Beside those things that are from the outside, that which comes upon me daily, the care of all the congregations. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is offended, and I do not burn with indignation? 30 If I need to boast, I will boast about the things that concern my infirmities. 31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed forever knows I do not lie. 32 The governor under King Aretas put guards around the city of Damascus to catch me. 33 So I was let down in a basket through an opening in the wall and escaped from him.
