2 Corinthians 11:21-23
Holman Christian Standard Bible
21 I say this to our shame: We have been weak.
But in whatever anyone dares to boast—I am talking foolishly—I also dare:
22 Are they Hebrews?(A) So am I.
Are they Israelites? So am I.
Are they the seed of Abraham?(B) So am I.
23 Are they servants of Christ?
I’m talking like a madman—I’m a better one:
with far more labors,
many more imprisonments,
far worse beatings, near death[a] many times.
