2 Corinthians 11:5-23

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.
