26. In my many journeys I have been in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the desert, dangers in the sea, dangers among false brothers,
27. in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.
28. Besides these other things, there is daily pressure on me of concern for all of Messiah’s communities.
29. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with indignation?
30. If I must boast, I will boast of my weakness.
31. The God and Father of the Lord Yeshua, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.
32. In Damascus the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to seize me,
33. and I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his hands.
