2 Corinthians 11:5-23

5ForG1063 I supposeG3049 I wasG5302 not a bitG3367 behindG5302 the veryG5228 greatestG3029 apostlesG652. 6ButG1161 thoughG1499 I am rudeG2399 in speechG3056, yetG235 notG3756 in knowledgeG1108; butG235 we have been thoroughlyG1722G3956 made evidentG5319 amongG1519 youG5209 inG1722 all thingsG3956. 7Have I committedG4160 an offenceG266 in abasingG5013 myselfG1683 thatG2443 yeG5210 might be exaltedG5312, becauseG3754 I have preachedG2097 to youG5213 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 without chargeG1432? 8I robbedG4813 otherG243 churchesG1577, takingG2983 wagesG3800 of them, toG4314 doG1248 youG5216 serviceG1248. 9AndG2532 when I was presentG3918 withG4314 youG5209, andG2532 in needG5302, I wasG3756 chargeableG2655 to no manG3762: forG1063 that which was lackingG5303 to meG3450 the brethrenG80 who cameG2064 fromG575 MacedoniaG3109 suppliedG4322: andG2532 inG1722 allG3956 things I have keptG5083 myselfG1683 from being burdensomeG4 to youG5213, andG2532 so will I keepG5083 myself . 10As the truthG225 of ChristG5547 isG2076 inG1722 meG1698, no manG3756 shall stopG4972G5420 meG1519G1691 of thisG3778 boastingG2746 inG1722 the regionsG2824 of AchaiaG882.1 11WhyG1302? becauseG3754 I loveG25 youG5209 notG3756? GodG2316 knowethG1492. 12ButG1161 whatG3739 I doG4160, thatG2532 I will doG4160, thatG2443 I may cut offG1581 occasionG874 from them who desireG2309 occasionG874; thatG2443 inG1722 whatG3739 they gloryG2744, they may be foundG2147 evenG2532 asG2531 weG2249. 13ForG1063 suchG5108 are false apostlesG5570, deceitfulG1386 workersG2040, transforming themselvesG3345 intoG1519 the apostlesG652 of ChristG5547. 14AndG2532 noG3756 wonderG2298; forG1063 SatanG4567 himselfG846 is transformedG3345 intoG1519 an angelG32 of lightG5457. 15ThereforeG3767 it is noG3756 great thingG3173 ifG1499 hisG846 ministersG1249 alsoG1499 are transformedG3345 asG5613 the ministersG1249 of righteousnessG1343; whoseG3739 endG5056 shall beG2071 accordingG2596 to theirG846 worksG2041.

16I sayG3004 againG3825, LetG1380 noG3361 manG5100 thinkG1380 meG1511G3165 a foolG878; if otherwiseG1490, yetG2579 asG5613 a foolG878 receiveG1209 meG3165, thatG2443 IG2504 may boast myselfG2744 aG5100 littleG3397.2 17That whichG3739 I speakG2980, I speakG2980 it notG3756 according toG2596 the LordG2962, butG235 asG5613 it were foolishlyG1722G877, inG1722 thisG5026 confidenceG5287 of boastingG2746. 18Seeing thatG1893 manyG4183 gloryG2744 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, I will gloryG2744 alsoG2504. 19ForG1063 ye bear withG430 foolsG878 gladlyG2234, seeing ye yourselves areG5607 wiseG5429. 20ForG1063 ye bear with itG430, if a manG1536 bringethG2615 youG5209 into bondageG2615, if a manG1536 devourethG2719 you, if a manG1536 takethG2983 from you, if a manG1536 exalteth himselfG1869, if a manG1536 smitethG1194 youG5209 onG1519 the faceG4383. 21I speakG3004 as concerningG2596 reproachG819, asG5613 thoughG3754 weG2249 had been weakG770. ButG1161 inG1722 whateverG3739G302 respect anyG5100 is boldG5111, (I speakG3004 foolishlyG1722G877,) I am boldG5111 alsoG2504.

22Are theyG1526 HebrewsG1445? so amIG2504. Are theyG1526 IsraelitesG2475? so amIG2504. Are theyG1526 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11? so am IG2504. 23Are theyG1526 ministersG1249 of ChristG5547? (I speakG2980 as a foolG3912) IG1473 am moreG5228; inG1722 laboursG2873 more abundantG4056, inG1722 stripesG4127 above measureG5234, inG1722 prisonsG5438 more frequentG4056, inG1722 deathsG2288 oftenG4178.
