2 CORINTHIANS 11:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 2
“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;”
Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea — the *catalog* multiplies: *rhabdízō*, beaten with rods (Roman punishment); *lithoboleó*, stoned (Acts 14:19); *naufrage*, shipwrecked three times; *nukthēmeron*, night and day adrift. Each *disaster* is a *testimony* to *divine preservation*.
