Matthew 11:28-30

28 gCome to hme, all who labor and are iheavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and jlearn from me, for I am kgentle and lowly in heart, and lyou will find rest for your souls. 30For mmy yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

2 Corinthians 4:8-12

8We are nafflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9persecuted, but onot forsaken; pstruck down, but not destroyed; 10 qalways carrying in the body the death of Jesus, rso that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesussake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12So sdeath is at work in us, but life in you.

2 Corinthians 11:23-30

23Are they tservants of Christ? uI am a better one—I am talking like a madmanwith far greater labors, vfar more imprisonments, wwith countless beatings, and xoften near death. 24Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the yforty lashes less one. 25Three times I was zbeaten with rods. aaOnce I was stoned. Three times I abwas shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; 26on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, acdanger from my own people, addanger from Gentiles, aedanger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; 27 afin toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, agin hunger and thirst, often without food,
Or  often in fasting
in cold and exposure.
28And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for aiall the churches. 29 ajWho is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant?

30 akIf I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
