“In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;”
In beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger — the catalog of suffering expands: physical violence, legal confinement, social chaos, labor exhaustion. 'Sleepless nights' (agrypnia) indicates psychological toll. The accumulation is deliberate: Paul's resume is wounds.
