Afflictions » Life tested by the lord » Of ministers and prophets
And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.
So in the morning I was teaching the people and in the evening death took my wife; and in the morning I did what I had been ordered to do.
Even to this hour we are without food, drink, and clothing, we are given blows and have no certain resting-place;
In blows, in prisons, in attacks, in hard work, in watchings, in going without food;
Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking foolishly) I am more so; I have had more experience of hard work, of prisons, of blows more than measure, of death.
So that no man might be moved by these troubles; because you see that these things are part of God's purpose for us.
