- I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
- That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
- Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
- For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
- For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
|
- I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me just as you would a fool, so that I may do a little boasting.
- In this self-confident boasting I am not talking as the Lord would, but as a fool.
- Since many are boasting in the way the world does, I too will boast.
- You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise!
- In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or pushes himself forward or slaps you in the face.
|
- I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
- Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
- Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
- Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
- 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;
|
- To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that! What anyone else dares to boast about--I am speaking as a fool--I also dare to boast about.
- Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abraham's descendants? So am I.
- Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again.
- Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
- Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea,
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
- In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
- And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
|
- The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever, knows that I am not lying.
- In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me.
- But I was lowered in a basket from a window in the wall and slipped through his hands.
