Noyes(i)
16 I say again, let no one suppose me a fool; if otherwise, yet even as a fool receive me, that I too may boast myself a little.
17 What I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as it were in folly, in this confidence of boasting.
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will boast also.
19 For ye bear with fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise;
20 for ye bear with it, if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one smites you on the face.
21 I say it to my reproach, that we were weak; but in whatever any one is bold, (I speak in folly,) I am bold also.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abrams offspring? So am I.
23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as beside myself,) I am more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often;
24 of the Jews five times I received forty stripes save one;
25 thrice I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have spent in the deep;
26 by journeyings often; by perils of rivers, by perils of robbers, by perils from my countrymen, by perils from the heathen, by perils in the city, by perils in the wilderness, by perils in the sea, by perils among false brethren;
27 by weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
28 Besides the other troubles, there is that which presseth upon me daily, the anxiety for all the churches.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is in danger of stumbling, and I do not burn?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things which belong to my weakness.
