Afflictions » Life tested by the lord » Of ministers and prophets
To keep me from becoming conceited because of the exceptional nature of these revelations, a thorn was given to me and placed in my body. It was Satan's messenger to keep on tormenting me so that I would not become conceited.
So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died that evening. The next morning, I did as I had been commanded.
We are hungry, thirsty, dressed in rags, brutally treated, and homeless, right up to the present.
in beatings, imprisonments, and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights, and hunger;
Are they the Messiah's servants? I am insane to talk like this, but I am a far better one! I have been involved in far greater efforts, far more imprisonments, countless beatings, and have faced death more than once.
so that no one would be shaken by these persecutions, for which you are aware that we were destined.

so that no one would be shaken by these persecutions, for which you are aware that we were destined.
All this came upon us, yet we did not forsake you, and we have not dealt falsely with your covenant; Our hearts have not turned away; our steps have not swerved from your path. Nevertheless, you crushed us in the lair of jackals, and covered us in deep darkness.
Who will separate us from the Messiah's love? Can trouble, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or a violent death do this? As it is written, "For your sake we are being put to death all day long. We are thought of as sheep headed for slaughter." In all these things we are triumphantly victorious due to the one who loved us.
