Verse
2 Corinthians - ch 11 v 1 - 20
- Would to God you could bear with some little of my folly: but do bear with me.
- For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God. For I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
- But I fear lest, as the serpent seduced Eve by his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted, and fall from the simplicity that is in Christ.
- For if he that cometh preacheth another Christ, whom we have not preached; or if you receive another Spirit, whom you have not received; or another gospel which you have not received; you might well bear with him.
- For I suppose that I have done nothing less than the great apostles.
- For although I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but in all things we have been made manifest to you.
- Or did I commit a fault, humbling myself, that you might be exalted? Because I preached unto you the gospel of God freely?
- I have taken from other churches, receiving wages of them for your ministry.
- And, when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was wanting to me, the brethren supplied who came from Macedonia; and in all things I have kept myself from being burthensome to you, and so I will keep myself.
- The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shall not be broken off in me in the regions of Achaia.
- Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth it.
- But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off the occasion from them that desire occasion, that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
- For such false apostles are deceitful workmen, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
- And no wonder: for Satan himself transformeth himself into an angel of light.
- Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers be transformed as the ministers of justice, whose end shall be according to their works.
- I say again, (let no man think me to be foolish, otherwise take me as one foolish, that I also may glory a little.)
- That which I speak, I speak not according to God, but as it were in foolishness, in this matter of glorying.
- Seeing that many glory according to the flesh, I will glory also.
- For you gladly suffer the foolish; whereas yourselves are wise.
- For you suffer if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take from you, if a man be lifted up, if a man strike you on the face.
