2 Corinthians 11:23

Paul Boasts In His Sufferings

²² They are Hebrews, so am I. They are Israelites, even so am I. They are the seed of Abraham, even so am I. ²³ They are the ministers of Christ - I speak as a fool - I am more: In labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prison more plenteously, ²⁴ in death often. Of the Jews, five times received I, every time, forty stripes, save one.
