To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Listen to the solemn music of his words: "Five times received I forty stripes save one. 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; 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 ; in Aveariness and painfiilness, in watchings often, in hu...nger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. " (2 Cor. Xi. 24—27. ) Such is the record. Would you have had it otherwise? Would you the Apostle had met taunt with taunt, and blow with blow? Would his memory then have been handed down along the ages with the halo that encircles it now ? Ah ! brethren^ there is a power in passive endurance that the world little dreams of. "Nobly borne is nobly done. " Still, martyrdom is not to be courted : on the contrary, it is to be avoided in every possible way consistent with duty.
