2 Corinthians 11

As Paul considers the world's view of a view, in that vein, he takes great joy in being a fool for his testimony of Jesus Christ.  Being such a fool he recounts -

"...(I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches." (New Testament | 2 Corinthians 11:23 - 28)

In reponse to all his sufferings, Paul concludes -

"If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not."  (New Testament | 2 Corinthians 11:30 - 31)

Using Paul's analogy of the world's opinion, I to am a fool in Christ.  I hope  thought that I am never asked to suffer as did Paul.
