2 Corinthians 11:24-33

24Five times I received from the Jews 1thirty-nine lashes. 25Three times I was 2beaten with rods, once I was 3stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep. 26I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my 4countrymen, dangers from the 5Gentiles, dangers in the 6city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among 7false brethren; 27I have been in 8labor and hardship, 9through many sleepless nights, in 10hunger and thirst, often 11without food, in cold and 1213exposure. 28Apart from such 14external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for 15all the churches. 29Who is 16weak without my being weak? Who is 17led into sin 18without my intense concern?

30If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my 19weakness. 31The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, 20He who is blessed forever, 21knows that I am not lying. 32In 22Damascus the ethnarch under Aretas the king was 23guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to seize me, 33and I was let down in a basket 24through a window 25in the wall, and so escaped his hands.
