far worse beatings, near death many times.

is perfected in weakness.”

Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me.

Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials,

But even if you should suffer for righteousness, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear

or be disturbed,

But if anyone suffers as a “Christian,” he should not be ashamed but should glorify God in having that name.

For our momentary light affliction

is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory.

For they disciplined us for a short time based on what seemed good to them, but He does it for our benefit, so that we can share His holiness.
