2 Corinthians 11:25-33

New International Version

²⁵ Three times I was beaten with rods,^(A) once I was pelted with stones,^(B) three times I was shipwrecked,^(C) I spent a night and a day in the open sea, ²⁶ I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews,^(D) in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city,^(E) in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers.^{(F) 27} I have labored and toiled^(G) and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food;^(H) I have been cold and naked. ²⁸ Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.^{(I) 29} Who is weak, and I do not feel weak?^(J) Who is led into sin,^(K) and I do not inwardly burn?

³⁰ If I must boast, I will boast^(L) of the things that show my weakness.^{(M) 31} The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever,^(N) knows^(O) that I am not lying. ³² In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me.^{(P) 33} But I was lowered in a basket from a window in the wall and slipped through his hands.^(Q)
