6 Bible Verses about Afflictions Of Ministers

I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening. The next morning I did just as I was commanded.

Up to the present hour we are both hungry and thirsty; we are poorly clothed, roughly treated, homeless;

by beatings, by imprisonments,
by riots, by labors,
by sleepless nights, by times of hunger,

Are they servants of Christ?
I’m talking like a madman—I’m a better one:
with far more labors,
many more imprisonments,
far worse beatings, near death many times.

especially because of the extraordinary revelations. Therefore, so that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to torment me so I would not exalt myself.

so that no one will be shaken by these persecutions. For you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.
