2 Corinthians 11

1Would that ye could bearG430 with me in a littleG3398 foolishnessG877: but indeed ye do bearG430 with me. 2For I am jealousG2206 over you with a godly jealousyG2205: for I espoused you to oneG1520 husbandG435, that I might presentG3936 you as a pureG53 virginG3933 to ChristG5547. 3But I fearG5399, lestG3361 by any means, as the serpentG3789 beguiled EveG2096 in his craftinessG3834, your mindsG3540 should be corruptedG5351 from the simplicity and the purityG54 that is toward ChristG5547. 4For if he that cometh preacheth another JesusG2424, whom we did not preachG2784, or if ye receiveG2983 a differentG2087 spiritG4151, which ye did not receiveG2983, or a differentG2087 gospelG2098, which ye did not accept, ye do wellG2573 to bearG430 with him. 5For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostlesG652. 6But though I be rude in speechG3056, yet am I not in knowledgeG1108; nay, in every way have we madeG5319 this manifestG5319 unto you in all thingsG3956. 7Or did I commit a sinG266 in abasing myself that ye might be exaltedG5312, because I preached to you the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 for nought? 8I robbed otherG243 churchesG1577, takingG2983 wages of them that I might minister unto you; 9and when I was presentG3918 with you and was in want, I was not a burdenG2655 on any man; for the brethren, when they cameG2064 from MacedoniaG3109, supplied the measure of my want; and in everythingG3956 I keptG5083 myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keepG5083 myself. 10As the truthG225 of ChristG5547 isG1510 in me, no manG3778 shall stop me of this glorying in the regionsG2824 of AchaiaG882. 11Wherefore? because I loveG25 you not? GodG2316 knoweth. 12But what I do, that I will do, that I may cutG1581 off occasionG874 from them that desireG2309 an occasionG874; that wherein they glory, they may be foundG2147 evenG2532 as we. 13For suchG5108 menG5108 are false apostlesG652, deceitful workersG2040, fashioning themselves into apostlesG652 of ChristG5547. 14And no marvel; for evenG2532 SatanG4567 fashioneth himself into an angelG32 of lightG5457. 15It isG1510 no greatG3173 thing thereforeG3767 if his ministers alsoG2532 fashion themselves as ministers of righteousnessG1343; whose endG5056 shall beG1510 accordingG2596 to their worksG2041.

16I sayG3004 againG3825, Let no man thinkG1380 me foolishG878; but ifye do, yet as foolishG878 receiveG1209 me, that I alsoG1161 may glory a littleG3398. 17That which I speakG2980, I speakG2980 not after the LordG2962, but as in foolishnessG877, in this confidenceG5287 of glorying. 18Seeing that manyG4183 glory after the fleshG4561, I will glory also. 19For ye bearG430 with the foolishG878 gladlyG2234, beingG1510 wiseG5429 yourselves. 20For ye bearG430 with a man, if he bringeth you into bondage, if he devoureth you, if he taketh you captive, if he exalteth himself, if he smiteth you on the faceG4383. 21I speakG3004 by way of disparagement, as though we had been weakG770. Yet whereinsoever any is bold (I speakG3004 in foolishnessG877), I am bold alsoG1161. 22AreG1510 they HebrewsG1445? so amG1510 I. AreG1510 they IsraelitesG2475? so amG1510 I. AreG1510 they the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11? so amG1510 I. 23AreG1510 they ministers of ChristG5547? (I speakG2980 as one beside himself) I more; in laborsG2873 more abundantly, in prisonsG5438 more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths oft. 24Of the JewsG2453 five times receivedG2983 I fortyG5062 stripes save oneG1520. 25Thrice was I beaten with rodsG4463, onceG530 was I stonedG3034, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day have I been in the deep; 26in journeyings oftenG4178, in perils of riversG4215, in perils of robbersG3027, in perils from my countrymen, in perils from the GentilesG1484, in perils in the cityG4172, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the seaG2281, in perils among falseG5569 brethren; 27in laborG2873 and travail, in watchings oftenG4178, in hungerG3042 and thirst, in fastings oftenG4178, in coldG5592 and nakednessG1132. 28Besides those thingsG3956 that are without, there is that which presseth upon me daily, anxiety for all the churchesG1577. 29Who is weakG770, and I am not weakG770? who is caused to stumbleG4624, and I burnG4448 not? 30If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my weaknessG769. 31The GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, he who isG1510 blessed for evermore knoweth that I lieG5574 not. 32In DamascusG1154 the governor under Aretas the kingG935 guarded the cityG4172 of the Damascenes in order to take me: 33and through a windowG2376 was I let down in a basket by the wallG5038, and escapedG1628 his handsG5495.
