2 Corinthians 11:1-6

1I hope you will put up with a little more of my foolishness. Please bear with me.

2For I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. I promised you as a pure bride to one husband—Christ.

3But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent.

4You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.

5But I don’t consider myself inferior in any way to these “super apostles” who teach such things.

6I may be unskilled as a speaker, but I’m not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every possible way.
