2 Corinthians 11:22-24

Contemporary English Version

²² Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Jews? So am I. Are they from the family of Abraham? Well, so am I. ^23 (A) Are they servants of Christ? I am a fool to talk this way, but I serve him better than they do. I have worked harder and have been put in jail more times. I have been beaten with whips more and have been in danger of death more often.

^24 (B) Five times my own people gave me 39 lashes with a whip.
