What physical hardships did Paul endure according to 2 Corinthians 11?
According to 2 Corinthians 11, Paul endured nakedness, exposure to cold, unbearable heat, and thirst. His life was also endangered by the sword, and he was ultimately beheaded under Roman authority, showing he was not spared physical suffering for the gospel.
Les teaches that in 2 Corinthians 11 Paul mentioned nakedness, and he went through times of nakedness, cold, times when he had no redress from the heat, and thirst. Les also connects the peril or sword to Paul's death by beheading, noting he was not spared the Roman sword. The surrounding point is that tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, or sword cannot separate a believer from the love of God, because security rests in the finished work of Christ, not in what we have done or merit.
In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
