2 Corinthians 11:22-29

English Standard Version

²² Are they Hebrews? ^(A)So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they offspring of Abraham? So am I. ²³ Are they ^(B)servants of Christ? ^(C)I am a better one—I am talking like a madman—with far greater labors, ^(D)far more imprisonments, ^(E)with countless beatings, and ^(F)often near death. ²⁴ Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the ^(G)forty lashes less one. ²⁵ Three times I was ^(H)beaten with rods. ^(I)Once I was stoned. Three times I ^(J)was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; ²⁶ on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, ^(K)danger from my own people, ^(L)danger from Gentiles, ^(M)danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; ^27 (N)in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, ^(O)in hunger and thirst, often without food,^[a] in cold and exposure. ²⁸ And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for ^(P)all the churches. ^29 (Q)Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant?
