2 Corinthians Ch. 11 Verses 25-28: Thrice was I beaten
with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck
a night and a day I have been in the deep; In journeying
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 watching often, in hunger and thirst, in fasting often,
in cold and nakedness.
Beside those things that are without, that which
cometh upon me daily , the care of all the churches.
