2 Corinthians 11:21-23

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²¹ I say this to our shame: We have been too weak for that!

But in whatever anyone dares to boast – I am talking foolishly – I also dare: ²² Are they Hebrews?^(A) So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the descendants of Abraham?^(B) So am I. ²³ Are they servants of Christ? I’m talking like a madman – I’m a better one: with far more labours, many more imprisonments, far worse beatings, many times near death.
