KJV ORIGINAL
Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
The Jewish leaders had me beaten five different times — and each time they gave me 39 lashes (they stopped at 39 because 40 would've been going too far by their law).
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Paul took serious beatings for spreading the gospel, and he wasn't about to let that stop him.
