New American Standard Bible 1995

2 Corinthians 11:1-4

1I wish that you would 1bear with me in a little 2foolishness; but 3indeed you are bearing with me.

2For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I 4betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might 5present you as a pure virgin.

3But I am afraid that, as the 6serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.

4For if 7one comes and preaches 8another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a 9different spirit which you have not received, or a 10different gospel which you have not accepted, you 11bear this 12beautifully.
