Romans 8:36

36 As it is written,

^a“For your sake ^bwe are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

2 Corinthians 11:23-28

23 Are they ^cservants of Christ? ^dI am a better one—I am talking like a madman—with far greater labors, ^efar more imprisonments, ^fwith countless beatings, and ^goften near death. 24 Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the ^hforty lashes less one. 25 Three times I was ⁱbeaten with rods. ^jOnce I was stoned. Three times I ^kwas shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; 26 on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, ^ldanger from my own people, ^mdanger from Gentiles, ⁿdanger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; 27 ^oin toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, ^pin hunger and thirst, often without food, ^{▼▼Or often in fasting} in cold and exposure. 28 And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for ^rall the churches.
