2 Corinthians 11:21-23

International Standard Version

²¹ I am ashamed to admit it, but we have been too weak for that. Whatever anyone else dares to claim—I am talking like a fool—I can claim it, too. ²² Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelis? So am I. Are they among Abraham’s descendants? So am I. ²³ Are they the Messiah’s^[a] servants? I am insane to talk like this, but I am a far better one! I have been involved in far greater efforts, far more imprisonments, countless beatings, and have faced death more than once.
