dby 2Corinthians:11:16-33 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Again I say ,
Let not any one think me to be a fool ;
but if otherwise ,
receive me then even as a fool ,
that I also may boast myself some little .
*
What I speak I do not speak according to [
the ]
Lord ,
but as in folly ,
in this confidence of boasting .
*
Since many boast according to flesh ,
I also will boast .
*
For ye bear fools readily ,
being wise .
*
For ye bear if any one bring you into bondage ,
if any one devour [
you ],
if any one get [
your money ],
if any one exalt himself ,
if any one beat you on the face .
*
I speak as to dishonour ,
as though we had been weak ;
but wherein any one is daring , (
I speak in folly ,)
I also am daring .
*
Are they Hebrews ?
I also .
Are they Israelites ?
I also .
Are they seed of Abraham ?
I also .
*
Are they ministers of Christ ? (
I speak as being beside myself )
I above measure [
so ];
in labours exceedingly abundant ,
in stripes to excess ,
in prisons exceedingly abundant ,
in deaths oft .
*
From the Jews five times have I received forty [
stripes ],
save one .
*
Thrice have I been scourged ,
once I have been stoned ,
three times I have suffered shipwreck ,
a night and day I passed in the deep :
*
in journeyings often ,
in perils of rivers ,
in perils of robbers ,
in perils from [
my own ]
race ,
in perils from [
the ]
nations ,
in perils in [
the ]
city ,
in perils in [
the ]
desert ,
in perils on [
the ]
sea ,
in perils among false brethren ;
*
in labour and toil ,
in watchings often ,
in hunger and thirst ,
in fastings often ,
in cold and nakedness .
*
Besides those things that are without ,
the crowd [
of cares ]
pressing on me daily ,
the burden of all the assemblies .
*
Who is weak ,
and I am not weak ?
Who is stumbled ,
and I burn not ?
*
If it is needful to boast ,
I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity .
*
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows --
he who is blessed for ever --
that I do not lie .
*
In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes shut up ,
wishing to take me ;
*
and through a window in a basket I was let down by the wall ,
and escaped his hands .
