A Biblical Parallel
The Apostle Paul
2 Corinthians 11:23b-29 (NIV)
I have …been in prison more frequently,
been flogged more severely, and been
exposed to death again and again.
Five times I received from the Jews the forty
lashes minus one. Three times I was
beaten with rods, once I was pelted with
stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I
spent a night and a day in the open sea.
I have been constantly on the move. I have
been in danger from rivers, in danger from
bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in
danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in
danger in the country, in danger at sea; and
in danger from false believers
I have labored and toiled and have often gone
without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst
and have often gone without food; I have
been cold and naked.
Besides everything else, I face daily the
pressure of my concern for all the churches.
Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who
is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn?"

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom also we have obtained our
introduction by faith into this grace in which we
stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.

And not only this, but we also exult in our
tribulations, knowing that tribulation
brings about perseverance; and
perseverance, proven character; and
proven character, hope…
…and hope does not disappoint, because the
love of God has been poured out within our
hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given
to us. Romans 5:3-5 (NASB)
