The Catalog of Hardships

22

Hebrews are they? I also! Israelites are they? I also! seed of Abraham are they? I also!

23

ministrants of Christ are they? --as beside myself I speak--I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times;

24

from Jews five times forty stripes save one I did receive;

25

thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice was I shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep I have passed;

26

journeyings many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from kindred, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brethren;

27

in labouriousness and painfulness, in watchings many times, in hunger and thirst, in fastings many times, in cold and nakedness;

28

apart from the things without--the crowding upon me that is daily--the care of all the assemblies.

29

Who is infirm, and I am not infirm? who is stumbled, and I am not fired;

30

if to boast it behoveth me , of the things of my infirmity I will boast;

31

the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--who is blessed to the ages--hath known that I do not lie! --

32

In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,

33

and through a window in a rope basket I was let down, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.
