the ministers of justice, whose end shall be according to their works.

11:16. I say again (Let no man think me to be foolish: otherwise take me
as one foolish, that I also may glory a little):

11:17. That which I speak, I speak not according to God: but as it were
in foolishness, in this matter of glorying.

11:18. Seeing that many glory according to the flesh, I will glory also.

11:19. For you gladly suffer the foolish: whereas yourselves are wise.

11:20. For you suffer if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour
you, if a man take from you, if a man be lifted up, if a man strike you
on the face.

11:21. I seek according to dishonour, as if we had been weak in this
part. Wherein if any man dare (I speak foolishly), I dare also.

11:22. They are Hebrews: so am I. They are Israelites: so am I. They
are the seed of Abraham: so am I.

11:27. In labour and painfulness, in much watchings, in hunger and
thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness:

11:28. Besides those things which are without: my daily instance, the
solicitude for all the churches.

My daily instance... The labours that come in, and press upon me every
day.

11:29. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is scandalized, and I am not
on fire?

11:30. If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my
infirmity.

11:31. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for
