Even unto this day we hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted with fists, and have no certain dwelling place,

in stripes, in prisonment, in strife, in labour, in watching, in fasting,

They are the ministers of Christ - I speak as a fool - I am more: In labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prison more plenteously,
