(11) Continuing still in the same metaphor, he opposes his miseries and the marks of those stripes which he bore for Christ's sake, against the scar of the outward circumcision, as a true mark of his apostleship.

(p) For it very important whose marks we bear: for the cause makes the martyr, and not the punishment.
