2 Corinthians 11:21-29

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

²¹ I speak in-accordance-with my dishonor^[a]— how that we have been weak! But in whatever anyone may dare to boast— I am speaking in foolishness— I also dare. ²² Are they Hebrews? I also. Are they Israelites? I also. Are they seed of Abraham? I also. ²³ Are they servants of Christ? I speak being distraught^[b], I more— in far-more labors, in far-more prisons, in many-more beatings, in deaths^[c] often.

But I Will Boast In The Things Pertaining To My Weakness

²⁴ By Jews five-times I received forty lashes less one. ²⁵ Three-times I was beaten-with-rods. Once I was stoned. Three-times I was shipwrecked. I have done a night-and-day in the deep. ²⁶ On journeys often— in dangers from rivers, in dangers from robbers, in dangers from my nation^[d], in dangers from Gentiles, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, in dangers at sea, in dangers among false-brothers. ²⁷ In labor and hardship, in watchings^[e] often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. ²⁸ Apart from the external^[f] things, there is the daily pressure^[g] on me, the concern for all the churches— ²⁹ who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused-to-fall, and I do not burn^[h]?
