³⁵ Who will separate us from ^(A)the love of ^[a]Christ? Will ^(B)affliction, or turmoil, or ^(C)persecution, or ^(D)famine, or ^(E)nakedness, or ^(F)peril, or sword?

²³ Are they ^(A)ministers of Christ?—I speak as if insane—I more so; in ^[a](B)far more labors, in ^[b](C)far more imprisonments, in ^(D)beatings without number, in frequent ^(E)danger of death. ²⁴ Five times I received from the Jews ^(F)forty lashes less one. ²⁵ Three times I was ^(G)beaten with rods, once I was ^(H)stoned, three times I was shipwrecked—a night and a day I have spent in the deep. ²⁶ I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my ^(I)countrymen, dangers from the ^(J)Gentiles, dangers in the ^(K)city, dangers in the desolate places, dangers on the sea, dangers among ^(L)false brothers. ²⁷ I have been in ^(M)labor and hardship, in many sleepless nights, in ^(N)starvation and thirst, often ^(O)hungry, in cold and ^[c](P)without enough clothing.
