2 Corinthians 11:14-33

14NoG3756 wonderG2295, for evenG846 1SatanG4567 disguisesG3345 himself as an 2angelG32 of lightG5457. 15ThereforeG3767 it is not surprisingG3173 ifG1487 his servantsG1249 alsoG2532 disguiseG3345 themselves as servantsG1249 of righteousnessG1343, 3whoseG3739 endG5056 will be accordingG2596 to their deedsG2041.

164AgainG3825 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 56as the LordG2962 would, but as 7in foolishnessG877, in thisG3778 confidenceG5287 of boastingG2746. 18SinceG1893 8manyG4183 boastG2744 9accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, I will boastG2744 alsoG2532. 19For you, 10beingG1510 so wiseG5429, tolerateG430 the foolishG878 gladlyG2234. 20For you tolerateG430 it ifG1487 anyoneG5100 11enslavesG2615 you, anyoneG5100 12devoursG2719 you, anyoneG5100 13takesG2983 advantage of you, anyoneG5100 14exaltsG1869 himself, anyoneG5100 15hitsG1194 you in the faceG4383. 21To my 16shameG819 I must sayG3004 that we have been 17weakG770 by comparison.

But in whateverG3739G302 respect anyoneG5100 else 18is boldG5111--I 19speakG3004 in foolishnessG877--I amG5111 justG2532 as boldG5111 myselfG1473. 22Are they 20HebrewsG1445? 21SoG2532 am I. Are they 22IsraelitesG2475? 23SoG2532 am I. Are they 2425descendantsG4690 of AbrahamG11? 26SoG2532 am I. 23Are they 27servantsG1249 of ChristG5547?--I speakG2980 as if insaneG3912--I moreG5228 soG5228; in 2829farG4057 moreG4057 laborsG2873, in 3031farG4057 moreG4057 imprisonmentsG5438, 3233beatenG4127 timesG5234 withoutG5234 numberG5234, oftenG4178 in 34dangerG2288 of deathG2288. 24FiveG3999 timesG3999 I receivedG2983 from the JewsG2453 35thirty-nineG5065G3844G1520 lashes. 25ThreeG5151 timesG5151 I was 36beatenG4463 with rodsG4463, onceG530 I was 37stonedG3034, 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 38countrymenG1085, dangersG2794 from the 39GentilesG1484, dangersG2794 in the 40cityG4172, dangersG2794 in the wildernessG2047, dangersG2794 on the seaG2281, dangersG2794 amongG1722 41falseG5569 brethrenG5569; 27I have been in 42laborG2873 and hardshipG3449, 43throughG1722 manyG4178 sleeplessG70 nightsG70, in 44hungerG3042 and thirstG1373, oftenG4178 45withoutG3521 foodG3521, in coldG5592 and 4647exposureG1132. 28ApartG5565 from such 48externalG3924 things, there is the dailyG2596G2250 pressureG1988 on me of concernG3308 for 49allG3956 the churchesG1577. 29WhoG5101 is 50weakG770 withoutG2532G3756 my being weakG770? WhoG5101 is 51ledG4624 into sinG4624 52withoutG2532G3756 my intenseG4448 concernG4448?

30IfG1487 I haveG1163 to boastG2744, I will boastG2744 of whatG769 pertains to my 53weaknessG769. 31The GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, 54He who is blessedG2128 foreverG165, 55knowsG3609 that I am not lyingG5574. 32In 56DamascusG1154 the ethnarchG1481 under AretasG702 the kingG935 was 57guardingG5432 the cityG4172 of the DamascenesG1153 in order to seizeG4084 me, 33and I was letG5465 downG5465 in a basketG4553 58throughG1223 a windowG2376 59in the wallG5038, and so escapedG1628 his handsG5495.
