Are they ^(bc)servants of Christ?—I speak as if insane—I more so; in ^[h](bd)far more labors, in ^[i](be)far more imprisonments, ^[j](bf)beaten times without number, often in ^(bg)danger of death.

Five times I received from the Jews ^(bh)thirty-nine lashes.

Three times I was ^(bi)beaten with rods, once I was ^(bj)stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep.

I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my ^(bk)countrymen, dangers from the ^(bl)Gentiles, dangers in the ^(bm)city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among ^(bn)false brethren;

I have been in ^(bo)labor and hardship, ^[k]through many sleepless nights, in ^(bp)hunger and thirst, often ^(bq)without food, in cold and ^[l](br)exposure.
