2 Corinthians 11:27

Compare all

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—

28 besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: ^amy deep concern for all the churches.

29 ^aWho is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?

30 If I must boast, ^aI will boast in the things which concern my¹ infirmity.

2 Corinthians 11:27

In weariness and painfulness - Tribulations of this kind were his constant companions. Lord Lyttleton and others have made useful reflections on this verse: "How hard was it for a man of a genteel and liberal education, as St. Paul was, to bear such rigours, and to wander about like a vagabond, hungry and almost naked, yet coming into the presence of persons of high life, and speaking in large and various assemblies on matters of the utmost importance!" Had not St. Paul been deeply convinced of the truth and absolute certainty of the Christian religion, he could not have continued to expose himself to such hardships.
