23. ministrants of Christ are they? --as beside myself I speak--I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times;
24. from Jews five times forty [stripes] save one I did receive;
25. thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice was I shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep I have passed;
26. journeyings many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from kindred, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brethren;
27. in labouriousness and painfulness, in watchings many times, in hunger and thirst, in fastings many times, in cold and nakedness;
28. apart from the things without--the crowding upon me that is daily--the care of all the assemblies.
29. Who is infirm, and I am not infirm? who is stumbled, and I am not fired;
30. if to boast it behoveth [me], of the things of my infirmity I will boast;
31. the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--who is blessed to the ages--hath known that I do not lie! --
32. In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,
33. and through a window in a rope basket I was let down, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.
