5 Bible Verses about Afflictions Of Ministers

For even to this present hour we undergo hunger and thirst and nakedness, and are buffeted about, and have no settled abode;

in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,

Are they the ministers of Christ? (I speak foolishly) I am above [them]: in labours more abundantly, in stripes exceedingly more, in prisons more frequently, in the most immediate danger of death often.

And that I might not be lifted up above measure by the transcendent greatness of the revelations, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, the angel Satan, to buffet me, that I might not be lifted up above measure.

that no man might be shaken by these tribulations; for ye yourselves know that thereunto we are appointed.
