2 Corinthians 11:21-23

Worldwide English (New Testament)

²¹ Are they Hebrew people? So am I. Are they Israel's people? So am I. Is Abraham their father? He is mine too.

²² Are they workers for Christ? (I talk like one who is not in his right mind.) I am a better worker. I have worked much harder. I have been in prison more often. I have been beaten many, many times. Often I have almost died.

²³ The Jewish leaders five times gave me thirty nine strikes with the rope.
