23 Are they (A)servants of Christ? (B)I am a better one—I am talking like a madman—with far greater labors, (C)far more imprisonments, (D)with countless beatings, and (E)often near death. 24 Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the (F)forty lashes less one. 25 Three times I was (G)beaten with rods.

(I)They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— 38 of whom the world was not worthy—(J)wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

Treasure in Jars of Clay
7 But we have this treasure in (A)jars of clay, (B)to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are (C)afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but (D)not forsaken; (E)struck down, but not destroyed; 10 (F)always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, (G)so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So (H)death is at work in us, but life in you.

Revelation 7:14-17
English Standard Version
14 I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of (A)the great tribulation. (B)They have washed their robes and (C)made them white (D)in the blood of the Lamb.
15 “Therefore they are before the throne of God,
and (E)serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne (F)will shelter them with his presence.
16 (G)They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;
(H)the sun shall not strike them,
nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb in the midst of the throne (I)will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of (J)living water,
and (K)God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Job 30:9-31
English Standard Version
9 “And now I have become their (A)song;
I am (B)a byword to them.
10 They (C)abhor me; they keep aloof from me;
they do not hesitate to (D)spit at the sight of me.
11 Because God has loosed my cord and humbled me,
they have cast off restraint[a] in my presence.
12 On my (E)right hand the rabble rise;
they push away my feet;
they (F)cast up against me their ways of destruction.
13 They break up my path;
they promote my (G)calamity;
they need no one to help them.
14 As through a wide (H)breach they come;
amid the crash they roll on.
15 (I)Terrors are turned upon me;
my honor is pursued as by the wind,
and my prosperity has passed away like (J)a cloud.
16 “And now my soul is (K)poured out within me;
days of affliction have taken hold of me.
17 (L)The night (M)racks my bones,
and the pain that (N)gnaws me takes no rest.
18 With great force my garment is (O)disfigured;
it binds me about like the collar of my tunic.
19 God[b] has cast me into the mire,
and I have become like (P)dust and ashes.
20 I cry to you for help and you do not answer me;
I stand, and you only look at me.
21 You have (Q)turned cruel to me;
with the might of your hand you (R)persecute me.
22 (S)You lift me up on the wind; you make me ride on it,
and you toss me about in the roar of the storm.
23 (T)For I know that you will bring me to death
and to the house appointed for (U)all living.
24 “Yet does not one in a (V)heap of ruins stretch out his hand,
and in his disaster cry for help?[c]
25 Did not I (W)weep for him whose day was hard?
Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
26 But (X)when I hoped for good, evil came,
and when I waited for light, (Y)darkness came.
27 My inward parts are in turmoil and never still;
days of affliction (Z)come to meet me.
28 I (AA)go about darkened, but not by the sun;
I stand up in (AB)the assembly and cry for help.
29 I am a brother of (AC)jackals
and a companion of (AD)ostriches.
30 My (AE)skin turns black and falls from me,
and my (AF)bones burn with heat.
31 My (AG)lyre is (AH)turned to mourning,
and my (AI)pipe to the voice of those who weep.
