2 Corinthians 11:26

Paul’s Suffering and Service

25Three 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.26In my frequent journeys, I have been in danger from rivers and from bandits, in danger from my countrymen and from the Gentiles, in danger in the city and in the country, in danger on the sea and among false brothers,27in labor and toil and often without sleep, in hunger and thirst and often without food, in cold and exposure.
