2 Corinthians 11:23-31 Are they ministers of Christ? I speak with an excess of folly I am more so; more abundant in labours; far surpassing in stripes; more frequent in imprisonments, often in deaths.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Are they ministers of Christ? [I speak with an excess of folly] I am more so; more abundant in labours; far surpassing in stripes; more frequent in imprisonments, often in deaths. ²⁴ Of the Jews I five times received forty stripes save one. ²⁵ Thrice I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Thrice I have been shipwrecked. In the deep I spent a whole night and day. ²⁶ On journeys I have been frequently in dangers from rivers; in dangers from robbers; in dangers from my country men; in dangers from foreign nations; in dangers in cities; in dangers in a wilderness; in dangers at sea; in dangers among false brethren: ²⁷ In toil and fatigue, in watchings many a time, with hunger and thirst; in fastings many a time, with cold and nakedness. ²⁸ Beside these things from without, I have this disturbance daily crowding upon me; the anxious care of all the congregations. ²⁹ Who is weak and I not weak? Who is offended and I not inflamed? ³⁰ If I must boast, let me boast of things regarding my weakness. ³¹ The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; the self-existent, ever blessed being knoweth that I do not lie.
