- I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers.
- I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked.
- Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.
- Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn?
- If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
|
- In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
- In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
- Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
- Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
- If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
