2 Corinthians 11 23-2 Corinthians 11 27
Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one— I am talking like a madman— with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death.Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one.Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea;on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers;in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.

Psalms 107:6-43
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in.Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons,for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High.So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help.Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart.Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron.Some were fools through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death.Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters;they saw the deeds of the Lord, his wondrous works in the deep.For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight;they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits’ end.Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven.Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants.He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water.And there he lets the hungry dwell, and they establish a city to live in;they sow fields and plant vineyards and get a fruitful yield.By his blessing they multiply greatly, and he does not let their livestock diminish.When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, evil, and sorrow,he pours contempt on princes and makes them wander in trackless wastes;but he raises up the needy out of affliction and makes their families like flocks.The upright see it and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth.Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the Lord.

Isaiah 45:21-22

2 Corinthians 6 3-2 Corinthians 6 10
We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities,beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger;by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love;by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true;as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed;as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.

1 Corinthians 4 9-1 Corinthians 4 13
For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men.We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute.To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless,and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;when slandered, we entreat. We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things.
