10 But you know all about my teachings, my way of life, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, and my endurance.
11 You also know about the kind of persecutions and sufferings which happened to me in the cities of Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions, and the Lord rescued me from all of them.
