2 Corinthians 11:13-33

13For suchG5108 menG5108 are 1falseG5570 apostlesG5570, 2deceitfulG1386 workersG2040, disguisingG3345 themselves as apostlesG652 of ChristG5547. 14NoG3756 wonderG2295, for evenG846 3SatanG4567 disguisesG3345 himself as an 4angelG32 of lightG5457. 15ThereforeG3767 it is not surprisingG3173 ifG1487 his servantsG1249 alsoG2532 disguiseG3345 themselves as servantsG1249 of righteousnessG1343, 5whoseG3739 endG5056 will be accordingG2596 to their deedsG2041.

166AgainG3825 I sayG3004, let noG3361 oneG5100 thinkG1380 me foolishG878; but ifG1487 you do, receiveG1209 me evenG2579 as foolishG878, soG2443 that I alsoG2532 may boastG2744 a littleG3398. 17WhatG3739 I am sayingG2980, I am not sayingG2980 78as the LordG2962 would, but as 9in foolishnessG877, in thisG3778 confidenceG5287 of boastingG2746. 18SinceG1893 10manyG4183 boastG2744 11accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, I will boastG2744 alsoG2532. 19For you, 12beingG1510 so wiseG5429, tolerateG430 the foolishG878 gladlyG2234. 20For you tolerateG430 it ifG1487 anyoneG5100 13enslavesG2615 you, anyoneG5100 14devoursG2719 you, anyoneG5100 15takesG2983 advantage of you, anyoneG5100 16exaltsG1869 himself, anyoneG5100 17hitsG1194 you in the faceG4383. 21To my 18shameG819 I must sayG3004 that we have been 19weakG770 by comparison.

But in whateverG3739G302 respect anyoneG5100 else 20is boldG5111--I 21speakG3004 in foolishnessG877--I amG5111 justG2532 as boldG5111 myselfG1473. 22Are they 22HebrewsG1445? 23SoG2532 am I. Are they 24IsraelitesG2475? 25SoG2532 am I. Are they 2627descendantsG4690 of AbrahamG11? 28SoG2532 am I. 23Are they 29servantsG1249 of ChristG5547?--I speakG2980 as if insaneG3912--I moreG5228 soG5228; in 3031farG4057 moreG4057 laborsG2873, in 3233farG4057 moreG4057 imprisonmentsG5438, 3435beatenG4127 timesG5234 withoutG5234 numberG5234, oftenG4178 in 36dangerG2288 of deathG2288. 24FiveG3999 timesG3999 I receivedG2983 from the JewsG2453 37thirty-nineG5065G3844G1520 lashes. 25ThreeG5151 timesG5151 I was 38beatenG4463 with rodsG4463, onceG530 I was 39stonedG3034, threeG5151 timesG5151 I was shipwreckedG3489, a nightG3574 and a dayG3574 I have spentG4160 in the deepG1037. 26I have been on frequentG4178 journeysG3597, in dangersG2794 from riversG4215, dangersG2794 from robbersG3027, dangersG2794 from my 40countrymenG1085, dangersG2794 from the 41GentilesG1484, dangersG2794 in the 42cityG4172, dangersG2794 in the wildernessG2047, dangersG2794 on the seaG2281, dangersG2794 amongG1722 43falseG5569 brethrenG5569; 27I have been in 44laborG2873 and hardshipG3449, 45throughG1722 manyG4178 sleeplessG70 nightsG70, in 46hungerG3042 and thirstG1373, oftenG4178 47withoutG3521 foodG3521, in coldG5592 and 4849exposureG1132. 28ApartG5565 from such 50externalG3924 things, there is the dailyG2596G2250 pressureG1988 on me of concernG3308 for 51allG3956 the churchesG1577. 29WhoG5101 is 52weakG770 withoutG2532G3756 my being weakG770? WhoG5101 is 53ledG4624 into sinG4624 54withoutG2532G3756 my intenseG4448 concernG4448?

30IfG1487 I haveG1163 to boastG2744, I will boastG2744 of whatG769 pertains to my 55weaknessG769. 31The GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, 56He who is blessedG2128 foreverG165, 57knowsG3609 that I am not lyingG5574. 32In 58DamascusG1154 the ethnarchG1481 under AretasG702 the kingG935 was 59guardingG5432 the cityG4172 of the DamascenesG1153 in order to seizeG4084 me, 33and I was letG5465 downG5465 in a basketG4553 60throughG1223 a windowG2376 61in the wallG5038, and so escapedG1628 his handsG5495.
