'Beatings' in the Bible

Beatings and wounds cleanse away evil, and floggings cleanse the innermost being.

in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in troubles, in sleepless nights, in hunger,

Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking like I am out of my mind!) I am even more so: with much greater labors, with far more imprisonments, with more severe beatings, facing death many times.
