2 Corinthians 11:25

23 Are they ministers of Christ?—I speak as a fool—I am more: ^ain labors more abundant, ^bin stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, ^cin deaths often.

24 From the Jews five times I received ^aforty ^bstripes minus one.

25 Three times I was ^abeaten with rods; ^bonce I was stoned; three times I ^cwas shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;

26 in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, ^ain perils of my own countrymen, ^bin perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

27 in weariness and toil, ^ain sleeplessness often, ^bin hunger and thirst, in ^cfastings often, in cold and nakedness—

2 Corinthians 11:25

The beating by Roman magistrates at Philippi (Acts 16:23) is the only one recorded in Acts, which does not profess to give a complete journal of his life, but only a sketch of it in connection with the design of the book, namely, to give an outline of the history of the Gospel Church from its foundation at Jerusalem, to the period of its reaching Rome, the capital of the Gentile world.

once was I stoned— (Acts 14:19).

thrice . . . shipwreck—before the shipwreck at Melita (Acts 27:44). Probably in some of his voyages from Tarsus, where he stayed for some time after his conversion, and from which, as being a seafaring place, he was likely to make missionary voyages to adjoining places (Acts 9:30; Acts 11:25; Galatians 1:21).

a night and a day . . . in the deep—probably in part swimming or in an open boat.
