2 Corinthians 11
1Would to GodG3785 ye could bearG430 with meG1473 a littleG3398 inG3588G877 my follyG3588G877: andG235 indeedG2532 bearG430 with meG1473. 2ForG1063 I am jealousG2206 over youG4771 with godlyG2316 jealousyG2205: forG1063 I have espousedG718 youG4771 to oneG1520 husbandG435, that I may presentG3936 you as a chasteG53 virginG3933 to ChristG3588G5547. 3ButG1161 I fearG5399, lest by any meansG3381, asG5613 the serpentG3588G3789 beguiledG1818 EveG2096 throughG1722 hisG846 subtiltyG3588G3834, soG3779 yourG4771 mindsG3588G3540 should be corruptedG5351 fromG575 the simplicityG3588G572 that isG3588 inG1519 ChristG3588G5547. 4ForG1063 ifG1487 heG3588 that comethG2064 preachethG2784 anotherG243 JesusG2424, whomG3739 we haveG2784 notG3756 preachedG2784, orG2228 if ye receiveG2983 anotherG2087 spiritG4151, whichG3739 ye have notG3756 receivedG2983, orG2228 anotherG2087 gospelG2098, whichG3739 ye haveG1209 notG3756 acceptedG1209, ye mightG430 wellG2573 bear withG430 him. 5
ForG1063 I supposeG3049 I wasG5302 notG3367 a whit behindG5302 the veryG5228 chiefestG3029 apostlesG652. 6ButG1161 thoughG1487 I be rudeG2399 in speechG3588G3056, yetG235 notG3756 in knowledgeG3588G1108; butG235 we have beenG5319 throughlyG1722 madeG3956 manifestG5319 amongG1519 youG4771 inG1722 all thingsG3956. 7
HaveG2228 I committedG4160 an offenceG266 in abasingG5013 myselfG1683 thatG2443 yeG4771 might be exaltedG5312, becauseG3754 I have preachedG2097 to youG4771 the gospelG2098 of GodG3588G2316 freelyG1432? 8I robbedG4813 otherG243 AssembliesG1577, takingG2983 wagesG3800 of them, to doG4314 youG4771 serviceG1248. 9AndG2532 when I was presentG3918 withG4314 youG4771, andG2532 wantedG5302, I was chargeable toG2655 noG3756 manG3762: forG1063 that which was lackingG5303 to meG1473 the brethrenG3588G80 which cameG2064 fromG575 MacedoniaG3109 suppliedG4322: andG2532 inG1722 allG3956 things I have keptG5083 myselfG1683 from being burdensomeG4 unto youG4771, andG2532 so will I keepG5083 myself. 10AsG3754 the truthG225 of ChristG5547 isG1510 inG1722 meG1473, no manG3756 shall stopG4972 meG1473 of thisG3778 boastingG3588G2746 inG1722 the regionsG3588G2824 of AchaiaG3588G882. 11WhereforeG1223? becauseG3754 I loveG25 youG4771 notG3756? GodG3588G2316 knowethG1492. 12ButG1161 whatG3739 I doG4160, that I will doG4160, thatG2443 I may cut offG1581 occasionG3588G874 from themG3588 which desireG2309 occasionG874; thatG2443 whereinG3739 they gloryG2744, they may be foundG2147 evenG2532 asG2531 weG1473. 13ForG1063 suchG5108 are false apostlesG5570, deceitfulG1386 workersG2040, transforming themselvesG3345 intoG1519 the apostlesG652 of ChristG5547. 14AndG2532 noG3756 marvelG2298; forG1063 SatanG3588G4567 himselfG846 is transformedG3345 intoG1519 an angelG32 of lightG5457. 15ThereforeG3767 it is noG3756 great thingG3173 ifG1487 hisG846 ministersG3588G1249 alsoG2532 be transformedG3345 asG5613 the ministersG1249 of righteousnessG1343; whoseG3739 endG3588G5056 shall beG1510 according toG2596 theirG846 worksG3588G2041.
16I sayG3004 againG3825, LetG1380 noG3361 manG5100 thinkG1380 meG1473 a foolG878; ifG1487 otherwiseG1161G1490, yetG2579 asG5613 a foolG878 receiveG1209 meG1473, thatG2443 I may boast myselfG2744 a littleG3398. 17That whichG3739 I speakG2980, I speakG2980 it notG3756 afterG2596 the LordG2962, butG235 as it wereG5613 foolishlyG877, inG1722 thisG3778 confidenceG3588G5287 of boastingG3588G2746. 18Seeing thatG1893 manyG4183 gloryG2744 afterG2596 the fleshG3588G4561, IG2504 will gloryG2744 alsoG2504. 19ForG1063 ye sufferG430 foolsG878 gladlyG2234, seeing yeG1510 yourselves are wiseG5429. 20ForG1063 ye sufferG430, ifG1487 a manG5100 bringG2615 youG4771 into bondageG2615, ifG1487 a manG5100 devourG2719 you, ifG1487 a manG5100 takeG2983 of you, ifG1487 a manG5100 exalt himselfG1869, ifG1487 a manG5100 smiteG1194 youG4771 onG1519 the faceG4383. 21I speakG3004 as concerningG2596 reproachG819, asG5613 thoughG3754 weG1473 had been weakG770. HowbeitG1161 whereinsoeverG3739 anyG5100 is boldG5111, (I speakG3004 foolishlyG877,) IG2504 am boldG5111 alsoG2504. 22Are theyG1510 HebrewsG1445? soG2504 am IG2504. Are theyG1510 IsraelitesG2475? soG2504 am IG2504. Are theyG1510 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11? soG2504 am IG2504.
23Are theyG1510 ministersG1249 of ChristG5547? (IG1473 speakG2980 as a foolG3912) IG5228 am moreG5228; inG1722 laboursG2873 more abundantG4057, inG1722 stripesG4127 above measureG5234, inG1722 prisonsG5438 more frequentG4057, inG1722 deathsG2288 oftG4178. 24OfG5259 the JewsG2453 five timesG3999 received IG2983 fortyG5062 stripes saveG3844 oneG1520. 25ThriceG5151 was I beaten with rodsG4463, onceG530 was I stonedG3034, thriceG5151 I suffered shipwreckG3489, a night and a dayG3574 I have beenG4160 inG1722 the deepG3588G1037; 26In journeyingsG3597 oftenG4178, in perilsG2794 of watersG4215, in perilsG2794 of robbersG3027, in perilsG2794 byG1537 mine own countrymenG1085, in perilsG2794 byG1537 the heathenG1484, in perilsG2794 inG1722 the cityG4172, in perilsG2794 inG1722 the wildernessG2047, in perilsG2794 inG1722 the seaG2281, in perilsG2794 amongG1722 false brethrenG5569; 27InG1722 wearinessG2873 andG2532 painfulnessG3449, inG1722 watchingsG70 oftenG4178, inG1722 hungerG3042 andG2532 thirstG1373, inG1722 fastingsG3521 oftenG4178, inG1722 coldG5592 andG2532 nakednessG1132. 28BesideG5565 those things that are withoutG3924, that which comethG3588G1999 upon meG1473 dailyG2250, the careG3588G3308 of allG3956 the AssembliesG3588G1577. 29WhoG5101 is weakG770, andG2532 I amG770 notG3756 weakG770? whoG5101 is offendedG4624, andG2532 IG1473 burnG4448 notG3756? 30IfG1487 I must needsG1163 gloryG2744, I will gloryG2744 of the thingsG3588 which concern mineG1473 infirmitiesG3588G769. 31The GodG3588G2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, which isG1510 blessedG2128 forG1519 evermoreG3588G165, knowethG1492 thatG3754 I lieG5574 notG3756. 32InG1722 DamascusG1154 the governorG3588G1481 under AretasG702 the kingG3588G935 keptG5432 the cityG4172 of the DamascenesG1153 with a garrisonG5432, desirousG2309 to apprehendG4084 meG1473: 33AndG2532 throughG1223 a windowG2376 inG1722 a basketG4553 was I let downG5465 byG1223 the wallG3588G5038, andG2532 escapedG1628 hisG846 handsG3588G5495.
