25. Three times I was beaten with rods by the Romans. Once I was stoned by my enemies. Three times I was shipwrecked. I have spent a night and a dayin the open sea.
26. On frequent journeys, I faceddangers from rivers,dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from the Gentiles,dangers in the city,dangers in the open country,dangers on the sea,and dangers among false brothers;
27. labor and hardship,many sleepless nights, hunger and thirst,often without food, cold, and lacking clothing.
28. Not to mention other things, there is the daily pressure on me: my care for all the churches.
29. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
