2 Corinthians 11:22-28

22 Are they 1Hebrews? 2So am I. Are they 3Israelites? 4So am I. Are they 5descendants of Abraham? 6So am I.
23 Are they 7servants of Christ?-I speak as if insane -I more so; in 8far more labors, in 9far more imprisonments, 10beaten times without number, often in 11danger of death.
24 Five times I received from the Jews 12thirty-nine * * lashes.
25 Three times I was 13beaten with rods, once I was 14stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep.
26 I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my 15countrymen, dangers from the 16Gentiles, dangers in the 17city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among 18false brethren;
27 I have been in 19labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in 20hunger and thirst, often 21without food, in cold and 22exposure.
28 Apart from such external things, there is the daily * pressure on me of concern for 23all the churches.
