¹⁷ From this time on let no man be a trouble to me; because my body is marked with the marks of Jesus.

⁵ For as we undergo more of the pain which Christ underwent, so through Christ does our comfort become greater.

²⁴ Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;

¹¹ But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.

¹² My desire is that they who give you trouble might even be cut off themselves.

¹⁰ In our bodies there is ever the mark of the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our bodies.

⁵ One will say, I am the Lord's; and another will give himself the name, Jacob; another will put a mark on his hand, I am the Lord's, and another will take the name of Israel for himself.

¹⁵ Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;

⁷ Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.

²³ Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking foolishly) I am more so; I have had more experience of hard work, of prisons, of blows more than measure, of death.

²⁴ Five times the Jews gave me forty blows but one.

²⁵ Three times I was whipped with rods, once I was stoned, three times the ship I was in came to destruction at sea, a night and a day I have been in the water;

²⁴ Because we have knowledge that some who went from us have been troubling you with their words, putting your souls in doubt; to whom we gave no such order;

²⁵ And Joshua said, Why have you been a cause of trouble to us? Today the Lord will send trouble on you. And all Israel took part in stoning him; they had him stoned to death and then burned with fire.
