Thrice was I beaten with rods, once I was stoned,
thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day have I
been in the deep;
In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of
robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils
by the hearthen, in perils of the city, in perils in the
wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false
brethren;
In weariness and painfulness, in watching often, in

nakedness.
Beside those things
that are without, that which
cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
