2 Corinthians 11:26

Paul Boasts In His Sufferings

²⁵ Three times I was beaten with rods by the Romans.
Once I was stoned by my enemies.
Three times I was shipwrecked.
I have spent a night and a day
in the open sea.
²⁶ On frequent journeys, I faced
dangers from rivers,
dangers from robbers,
dangers from my own people,
dangers from the Gentiles,
dangers in the city,
dangers in the open country,
dangers on the sea,
and dangers among false brothers;
²⁷ labor and hardship,
many sleepless nights, hunger and thirst,
often without food, cold, and lacking clothing.
