2 Corinthians 11:5-15

5For I considerG3049 myself 1not in the leastG3367 inferiorG5302 to the 2mostG5244 eminentG5244 apostlesG652. 6But evenG2532 ifG1487 I am 3unskilledG2399 in speechG3056, yetG235 I am not so in 4knowledgeG1108; in factG235, in everyG3956 wayG3956 we have 5madeG5319 this evidentG5319 to you in allG3956 thingsG3956.

7OrG2228 6did I commitG4160 a sinG266 in humblingG5013 myselfG1683 soG2443 that you might be exaltedG5312, becauseG3754 I preachedG2097 the 7gospelG2098 of GodG2316 to you 8withoutG1431 chargeG1431? 8I robbedG4813 otherG243 churchesG1577 by 9takingG2983 wagesG3800 from them to serveG1248 you; 9and when I was presentG3918 with you and was in needG5302, I was 10not a burdenG2655 to anyoneG3762; for when 11the brethrenG80 cameG2064 from 12MacedoniaG3109 they fullyG4322 suppliedG4322 my needG5303, and in everythingG3956 I keptG5083 myselfG1683 from 13beingG4 a burdenG4 to you, 14and will continueG5083 to do so. 10 15As the truthG225 of ChristG5547 is in me, 16thisG3778 boastingG2746 of mineG1519 G1473 will not be stoppedG5420 in the regionsG2824 of 17AchaiaG882. 11WhyG1223 G5101? 18BecauseG3754 I do not loveG25 you? 19GodG2316 knowsG3609 I do!

12But whatG3739 I am doingG4160 I will continueG2532 to doG4160, 20soG2443 that I may cutG1581 offG1581 opportunityG874 from thoseG3588 who desireG2309 an opportunityG874 to be 21regardedG2147 justG2531 as we are in the matter about whichG3739 they are boastingG2744. 13For suchG5108 menG5108 are 22falseG5570 apostlesG5570, 23deceitfulG1386 workersG2040, disguisingG3345 themselves as apostlesG652 of ChristG5547. 14NoG3756 wonderG2295, for evenG846 24SatanG4567 disguisesG3345 himself as an 25angelG32 of lightG5457. 15ThereforeG3767 it is not surprisingG3173 ifG1487 his servantsG1249 alsoG2532 disguiseG3345 themselves as servantsG1249 of righteousnessG1343, 26whoseG3739 endG5056 will be accordingG2596 to their deedsG2041.
