⁹ What hast thou known, and we know not? Understandest thou -- and it is not with us?

² According to your knowledge I have known -- also I. I am not fallen more than you.

³ I also have a heart like you, I am not fallen more than you, And with whom is there not like these?

³ What -- thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.

⁴ With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?

⁷ The things in presence do ye see? if any one hath trusted in himself to be Christ's, this let him reckon again from himself, that according as he is Christ's, so also we `are' Christ's;

²¹ in reference to dishonour I speak, how that we were weak, and in whatever any one is bold -- in foolishness I say `it' -- I also am bold.

²² Hebrews are they? I also! Israelites are they? I also! seed of Abraham are they? I also!

²³ ministrants of Christ are they? -- as beside myself I speak -- I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times;

²⁴ from Jews five times forty `stripes' save one I did receive;

²⁵ thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice was I shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep I have passed;

²⁶ journeyings many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from kindred, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brethren;

²⁷ in laboriousness and painfulness, in watchings many times, in hunger and thirst, in fastings many times, in cold and nakedness;

²⁸ apart from the things without -- the crowding upon me that is daily -- the care of all the assemblies.

²⁹ Who is infirm, and I am not infirm? who is stumbled, and I am not fired;

³⁰ if to boast it behoveth `me', of the things of my infirmity I will boast;
