2Corinthians:11:16-33
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Again I say ,
let not anyone think me to be foolish .
But if not ,
even if as foolish ,
receive me ,
that I also may boast a little .
*
What I speak ,
I speak not according to the Lord ,
but as in foolishness ,
in this boldness of boasting .
*
Since many boast according to the flesh ,
I also will boast .
*
For you gladly endure fools ,
being wise .
*
For you endure if anyone enslaves you ,
if anyone devours ,
if anyone takes away from you ,
if anyone exalts self ,
if anyone beats you in the face .
*
I speak according to dishonor ,
as if we have been weak .
But in whatever anyone dares (
I say it in foolishness ),
I also dare .
*
Are they Hebrews ?
I also .
Are they Israelites ?
I also .
Are they Abraham '
s seed ?
I also .
*
Are they ministers of Christ ? (
I speak as beside myself .)
I being beyond them :
in labors ,
more abundantly ;
in stripes ,
beyond measure ;
in prisons ,
much more ;
in deaths ,
many times .
*
Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews .
*
I was flogged three times ;
I was stoned once ;
I was shipwrecked three times ;
I have spent a night and a day in the deep .
*
I have been in travels often ,
in dangers of rivers ,
in dangers of robbers ,
in dangers from my race ,
in dangers from the nations ,
in dangers in the city ,
in dangers in the desert ,
in dangers on the sea ,
in dangers among false brothers ,
*
in hardship and toil ,
often in watchings ,
in hunger and thirst ,
often in fastings ,
in cold and nakedness ,
*
besides the things outside conspiring against me day by day ,
the care of all the churches .
*
Who is weak ,
and I am not weak ?
Who is caused to stumble ,
and I do not burn ?
*
If it is right to boast ,
I will boast of the things of my infirmity .
*
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ knows ,
He who is blessed forever ,
that I am not lying .
*
In Damascus ,
the governor of Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes ,
desiring to seize me .
*
And I was let down through a window through the wall in a basket and escaped their hands .
