21To my shame I concede that we were too weak for that! Speaking as a fool, however, I can match what anyone else dares to boast about.
22Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
23Are 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.
— 2 Corinthians 11:21-23
