Why would a man travel constantly, suffer ridicule and beatings, and be imprisoned for no apparent reward on this earth? Is he crazy, or does he have a purpose that this world doesn't understand? The apostle Paul suffered as he did in order to see God's elect come to faith in Jesus Christ, through the knowledge of the truth, to bear the fruit of godliness. We as Christians must take up the same mantle to see the nations believe in Christ...all for the glory of God.
