"Viewed absolutely, or in comparison with the sufferings of other men, Paul's afflictions were exceedingly great. He was poor, often without food or clothing; his body was weak and sickly; he was homeless; he was beset by cruel enemies; he was repeatedly scourged, he was stoned, he was imprisoned, he was shipwrecked, robbed, and counted as the offscouring of the earth; he was beyond measure harassed by anxieties and cares, and by the opposition of false teaches and the corruption of the churches which he had planted at such expense of time and labour. 1 Cor. 4, 9-13, and 2 Cor. 11, 23-29” (Charles Hodge, Exposition of the Second Epistle to the Corinthians, p. 103)
