2. Korinterbrev 11,32

30 Hvis jeg må skryte, vil jeg skryte av alle de tingene som viser min svakhet.

31 Gud og vår Herre Jesu Far, som er evig velsignet, vet at jeg ikke lyver.

I Damaskus voktet guvernøren under kong Aretas byen Damaskenerne for å fange meg,

33 og jeg ble firt ned i en kurv gjennom et vindu i muren, og slik unnslapp jeg hans hender.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
