2 Corinthians 11:29

Paul Boasts In His Sufferings

²⁸ Besides these [kinds of] things [or, "besides these outward things"], there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches. ²⁹ Who is weak, and I do not feel their weakness? Who is led astray [from God], and I do not burn [i.e., with righteous anger over the one who caused it]? ³⁰ If I must boast, I will boast about the things that show my weakness.
