2 Corinthians 11:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.

23 Are they servants of Christ? I am speaking like I am out of my mind, but I am so much more: in harder labor, in more imprisonments, in worse beatings, in frequent danger of death.

24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
