2 Corinthians 11:5-23

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.
