2 Corinthians 11:5-15

5For I reckon that in nothingG3367 I am behind those who are in surpassing degree apostlesG652.

6But if [I am] a simple person in speechG3056, yet not in knowledgeG1108, but in everythingG3956 making [the truth] manifestG5319 in all thingsG3956 to you.

7Have I committed sinG266, abasing myself in orderG2443 that ye might be exaltedG5312, because I gratuitously announced to you the glad tidings of 1GodG2316?

8I spoiled otherG243 assemblies, receivingG2983 hire for ministryG1248 towards you.

9And being presentG3918 with you and lackingG5303, I did not lazily burdenG2655 any oneG3588, (for the brethren who cameG2064 from MacedoniaG3109 supplied what I lackedG5302,) and in everythingG3956 I keptG5083 myself from being a burdenG2655 to you, and will keepG5083 myself.

10[The] truthG225 of ChristG5547 isG1510 in me that this boastingG2746 shall not beG1510 stopped as to me in the regionsG2824 of AchaiaG882.

11WhyG5101? because I do not loveG25 you? 2GodG2316 knows.

12But what I do, I will alsoG2532 do, that I may cutG1581 off the opportunityG874 of those wishingG2309 [for] an opportunityG874, that wherein they boastG2744 they may be foundG2147 evenG2532 as we.

13For suchG5108 [are] false apostlesG652, deceitful workersG2040, transforming themselves into apostlesG652 of ChristG5547.

14And [it is] not wonderful, for SatanG4567 himself transforms himself into an angelG32 of lightG5457.

15It isG1510 no greatG3173 thing thereforeG3767 if his ministers alsoG2532 transform themselves as ministers of righteousnessG1343; whose endG5056 shall beG1510 accordingG2596 to their worksG2041.
