2 Corinthians 11:25-33

25Three times I was 1beaten with rods, once I was 2stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent adrift at sea. 26I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my 3countrymen, dangers from the 4Gentiles, dangers in the 5city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers at sea, dangers among 6false brothers; 27I have been in 7labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in 8hunger and thirst, often 9without food, in cold and 1011exposure. 28Apart from such 12external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for 13all the churches. 29Who is 14weak without my being weak? Who is 15led into sin 16without my intense concern?

30If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my 17weakness. 31The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, 18He who is blessed forever, 19knows that I am not lying. 32In 20Damascus the ethnarch under Aretas the king was 21guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to seize me, 33and I was let down in a basket 22through a window 23in the wall, and so escaped his hands.
