2 Corinthians 11:18-24
-
18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
-
19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
-
20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
-
21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
-
22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
-
23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
-
24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
