Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring† of Abraham? So am I.
2 Corinthians 11:22 in context
2 Corinthians 11:19–25
For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
For you bear with a man if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he strikes you on the face.
To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring† of Abraham? So am I.
Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.
Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.
