2 Corinthians 11:5
5Indeed, I consider that aI am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles.2 Corinthians 11:21-23
21To my shame, I must say, bwe were too weak for that!But whatever anyone else dares to boast of—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast of that. 22Are they Hebrews? cSo am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they offspring of Abraham? So am I. 23Are they dservants of Christ? eI am a better one—I am talking like a madman—with far greater labors, ffar more imprisonments, gwith countless beatings, and hoften near death.
2 Corinthians 12:11
