2 Corinthians 11:22-27

22 Are they Hebrews? ^aSo am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they offspring of Abraham? So am I. 23 Are they ^bservants of Christ? ^cI am a better one—I am talking like a madman—with far greater labors, ^dfar more imprisonments, ^ewith countless beatings, and ^foften near death. 24 Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the ^gforty lashes less one. 25 Three times I was ^hbeaten with rods. ⁱOnce I was stoned. Three times I ^jwas shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; 26 on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, ^kdanger from my own people, ^ldanger from Gentiles, ^mdanger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; 27 ⁿin toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, ^oin hunger and thirst, often without food, ^{▼▼Or often in fasting} in cold and exposure.

Philippians 3:3-6

3 For ^qwe are the circumcision, ^rwho worship ^sby the Spirit of God ^{▼▼Some manuscripts God in spirit} and ^uglory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh— 4 ^vthough I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 ^wcircumcised on the eighth day, ^xof the people of Israel, ^yof the tribe of Benjamin, ^za Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, ^aaa Pharisee; 6 ^abas to zeal, ^aca persecutor of the church; ^adas to righteousness under the law, ^{▼▼Greek in the law} blameless.
