By Jews I five times received forty strokes less one, three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I experienced shipwreck, a night and a day I have spent in the deep; in journeys often, in dangers from rivers, in dangers from highwaymen, in dangers from my own race, in dangers from the nations, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, in dangers at sea, in dangers among false brothers, in labor and toil, in sleepless nights often, in hunger and thirst, in abstinence from food many times, in cold and nakedness.
Trīs reizes dabūju rīkstes, vienreiz mani mētāja akmeņiem, trīs reizes biju ūdens briesmās, visu dienu un nakti biju jūŗas viļņu varā. Bieži biju ceļojumos, ūdens briesmās upēs, laupītāju briesmās, briesmās savu ļaužu vidū, briesmās pagānu vidū, briesmās pilsētā, briesmās tuksnesī, briesmās uz jūŗas, briesmās viltus brāļu starpā, darbā un pūlēs, daudzās bezmiega naktīs, izsalkumā un slāpēs, daudz reiz badā, salā un kailumā.
