* Again i say , not any one me should think unwise to be ; if but otherwise , even as unwise do you receive me , so that even I a little somewhat may boast . * What I speak , not I speak according to Lord , but as in foolishness , in this the confidence of the boasting . * Since many boast according to the flesh , also I will boast . * Willingly for you bear with the unwise , wise ones being ; * you bear for , if any one you enslaves , if any one eats you up , if any one takes you , if any one raises himself up , if any one you on face beats . * According to dishonor I speak , as that we were weak ; in what but any one may be bold , (in foolishness I speak ,) bold also I . * Hebrews are they ? also I ; Israelites are they ? also I ; seed of Abraham are they ? also I ; * servants of Anointed are they ? (being a very fool I speak ,) above I ; in labors more abundant , in stripes above measure , in prisons more frequently , in deaths often ; * (by Jews five times forty except one I received , * thrice I was beaten with rods , once I was stoned , thrice I was shipwrecked , a night and day in the deep I have passed ;) * in journeys often ; in dangers of rivers , in dangers of robbers , in dangers from kindred , in dangers from Gentiles , in dangers in city , in dangers in desert , in dangers at sea , in dangers among false brethren ; * in labor and toil , in watchings often in hunger and thirst , in fastings often , in cold and nakedness . * Besides the outward things , the crowding of me that every day , the care of all of the congregations . * Who is weak , and not I am weak ? who is made to stumble , and not I burn ? * If to boast is necessary , the things of the weakness of me I will boast . * The God and Father of the Lord of us Jesus Anointed knows , he being blessed for the ages , that not I utter falsehood ; * in Damascus the ethnarch Aretas of the king guarded the Damascenes city , to seize me wishing ; * and through an opening in a rope basket I was lowered through the wall , and escaped the hands of him .
