2 Corinthians 11:23–33

²³They are the ministers of Christ (I speak as one less wise): I am more; in many more labours, in prisons more frequently, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.

²⁴Of the Jews five times did I receive forty stripes save one.

²⁵Thrice was I beaten with rods: once I was stoned: thrice I suffered shipwreck: a night and a day I was in the depth of the sea.

²⁶In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own nation, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils from false brethren:

²⁷In labour and painfulness, in much watchings, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness:

²⁸Besides those things which are without: my daily instance, the solicitude for all the churches.

²⁹Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is scandalized, and I am not on fire?

³⁰If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my infirmity.

³¹The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knoweth that I lie not.

³²At Damascus, the governor of the nation under Aretas the king, guarded the city of the Damascenes, to apprehend me.

³³And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall: and so escaped his hands.
