2 Corinthians 11:28

Compare all

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 11:28

Beside those things that are without - Independently of all these outward things, I have innumerable troubles and mental oppressions.

Which cometh upon me - ̔ · This continual press of business; this insurrection of cases to be heard, solved, and determined, relative to the doctrine, discipline, state, persecution, and supply of all the Churches.

All his perils were little in comparison of what he felt relative to the peace, government, and establishment of all the Churches among the Gentiles; for as he was the apostle of the Gentiles, the government of all the Churches among these fell in some sort on him, whether they were of his own planting or of the planting of others. See Colossians 2:1. None but a conscientious minister, who has at heart the salvation of souls, can enter into the apostle' s feelings in this place.
