22Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

26[in] journeyings often, [in] perils of rivers, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils from [my] countrymen, [in] perils from the Gentiles, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren;
27[in] labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
