1 ᏲᎯᏉ ᎤᏍᏗᎩᏛ ᎤᏁᎳᎩ ᎨᏍᎩᏰᎵᏎᏗ ᏱᎩ ᎠᎩᏁᎫ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯ ᎤᏁᎳᎩ ᏍᎩᏰᎵᏏ.
I could wish that you would put up with a little of my foolishness, but indeed you already are.

For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy, because I betrothed you to one man to present you to Christ as a pure virgin.

But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve with his cunning, so your minds may be corrupted from the integrity that is in Christ.

For if someone comes and preaches another ‘Jesus’ whom we did not preach, or you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you easily put up with it.
5 ᎦᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬᏰᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎤᏅ ᎡᏍᎦ ᏱᎦᏥᏲᎠᏍᎦ ᏄᏂᎬᏫᏳᏒ ᎨᏥᏅᏏᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ.
Now I consider that I am not at all inferior to the very best apostles.

Though I may not be a trained speaker, I do have knowledge—but we have been fully manifested to you in all things.

Or did I commit a sin in humbling self so that you might be exalted, in that I proclaimed God's Gospel to you free of charge?
8 ᏕᎦᏥᎾᏌᏅ ᏅᏩᎾᏓᎴ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᏚᎾᏓᏡᏩᏗᏒᎢ, ᏥᎩᏍᎬᎩ ᎬᏆᎫᏴᎡᎲᎢ, ᏂᎯ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎢᏨᏯᏛᏁᏗᏱ.
I ‘robbed’ other congregations, receiving support from them so as to serve you,
9 ᎠᎴ ᎾᎯᏳ ᏥᏨᏰᎳᏗᏙᎲᎩ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏆᏚᎸᎲᎥᎦ, ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᏯᏆᎫᏱᏍᎨᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎠᎩᏂᎬᏎᎲᎢ, ᎣᏣᎵᏅᏟ ᎹᏏᏙᏂ ᏅᏓᏳᏂᎶᏒᎯ ᎬᎩᏁᎲᎩ; ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎥᏉ ᎠᏆᏟᏂᎬᏁᎸ ᎢᏨᏐᏈᎸᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏏᏉ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎦᏛᏁᎮᏍᏗ.
and when I was with you and in need, I did not burden anyone; because the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need. Yes, I kept myself from being a burden to you in anything, and will keep on.
10 ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎦᏰᎪᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏣᎩᏯᎠ, ᎥᏝ ᎥᎩᏲᎯᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᏱᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏢᏈᏍᎬ ᎡᎧᏯ ᏂᎬᎾᏛᎢ.
The truth of Christ is in me: this boasting will not be silenced in me in the regions of Achaia.
11 ᎦᏙᏃ? ᏥᎪ ᏂᏨᎨᏳᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ? ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎦᏔᎭ.
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows!
12 ᎠᏎᏃ ᏂᎦᏛᏁᎲ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎦᎦᏛᏁᎮᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏥᏲᏍᏙᏓᏁᏗᏱ ᎤᎾᏜᏓᏅᏓᏕᏗᏱ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏧᎾᏚᎵᎭ ᎤᎾᏜᏓᏅᏓᏕᏗᏱ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᎿᎭᎠᎾᏢᏈᏍᎬ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏴ ᏃᎦᏍᏛ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᎾᏍᏛ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏱᏂᎦᎵᏍᏓ.
Further, I will keep on doing what I do in order to cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things of which they boast.
13 ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᎾᏠᎾᏍᎩ ᎨᏥᏅᏏᏛ, ᎤᎾᏓᎵᏓᏍᏗ ᏧᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ, ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏧᏤᎵ ᎨᏥᏅᏏᏛ ᎠᎾᏤᎸᏍᎩ.
Such men are really false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into ‘apostles’ of Christ.
14 ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᏳᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗ; ᏎᏓᏂᏰᏃ ᎤᏩᏒ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏗᏙᎯ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏛ ᎡᎯ ᎠᏤᎸᏍᎪᎢ.
And no wonder, because Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
15 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎤᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗᏳ ᏱᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎨᏥᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ ᏯᎾᏤᎸᏍᎦ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎵᏍᏆᎸᏗ ᎢᏳᎾᎵᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏚᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎸ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.
So it is no great thing if his servants also masquerade as ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
16 ᏔᎵᏁ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏥᏪᎭ, ᏞᏍᏗ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏁᎫ ᏯᏇᎵᏎᎮᏍᏗ; ᎢᏳ ᎠᏗᎾ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᏍᏕᏍᏗ, ᎠᏎ ᎠᎩᏁᎫ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏗᏍᎩᏯᏓᏂᎸᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏴ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏆᏢᏈᏍᏗᏱ.
Again I say, let no one think me a fool. But should anyone do so, at least receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little bit.
17 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏥᏪᏍᎬ ᏥᏁᎬ ᎥᏝ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᏳᏪᏍᏗ ᏱᏥᏁᎦ, ᎠᎩᏁᎫᏍᎩᏂ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏥᏁᎦ, ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᏥᎾᏰᏍᎬᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏥᎬᏗᎭ ᏥᎦᏢᏆᏍᎦ.
What I am going to say I do not say according to the Lord, but as though foolishly, in this confident boasting.
18 ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᏧᏂᏣᏔ ᏣᎾᏢᏈᏍᎦ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᎬᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᏴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏓᎦᏢᏆᏏ.
Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I will too
19 ᎤᏂᏁᎫᏰᏃ ᎤᎾᏁᎳᎩ ᏙᏤᎵᏎᎭ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎢᏥᏰᎸᎭ, ᏂᎯ ᎢᏥᎦᏔᎾᎢ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ.
(for you put up with fools gladly, being so wise yourselves!).
20 ᎤᏁᎳᎩᏰᏃ ᎢᏤᎵᏍᎪ ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᏱᏗᏥᎾᏢᏅ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎠᏒᎭ ᏱᏂᏨᏁᎸ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ [ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎢᏥᎲ ] ᏱᏥᎩᎡᎸ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏩᏒ ᏳᏓᎵᏌᎳᏓᏅ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᏕᏣᎧᏛ ᏱᏨᏂᎸ.
In fact, you even put up with someone who enslaves you, who ‘devours’ you, who takes advantage, who exalts himself, who beats on your face!
21 ᎤᏕᎰᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᏥᏁᎦ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏦᏥᏩᎾᎦᎳ ᎪᎪᏎᎲᎢ. ᎾᎿᎭᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎩᎶ ᎬᏩᎾᏰᎯᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ( ᎤᏁᎫ ᎤᏁᎢᏍᏗ ᏥᏁᎦ, ) ᎠᏴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏂᏥᎾᏰᏍᎬᎾ.
Is it disrespectful to say that we were ‘weak’? In whatever anyone is bold (I speak foolishly), I am bold also.
22 ᏥᎪ ᎢᎾᏈᎷ ᎾᏍᎩ? ᎠᏴ ᎾᏍᏉ. ᏥᎪ ᎠᏂᎢᏏᎵ? ᎠᏴ ᎾᏍᏉ. ᎡᏆᎭᎻᏍᎪ ᏧᏁᏢᏔᏅᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ? ᎠᏴ ᎾᏍᏉ.
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.

Are they ministers of Christ? (I'm being irrational) I am more: in labors more abundantly, in beatings beyond count, in prison more frequently, in ‘deaths’ often—
24 ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᎯᏍᎩ ᏂᎬᎩᎵᎥᏂᎸᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗᎭ ᏌᏉ ᎦᎷᎶᎩ ᏅᎦᏍᎪᎯ ᎢᎬᏋᏂᏍᏗᏱ;
five times from the Jews I received the ‘forty lashes minus one’;

three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked (I spent twenty-four hours in the open sea)—

in frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, in danger from robbers, in danger from my countrymen, in danger from Gentiles, in danger in cities, in danger in wildernesses, in danger in the sea, in danger among false brothers;

in toil and hardship, in many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, in frequent fastings, in cold and nakedness—

quite apart from the other things, my daily disturbances, my concern for all the congregations.
29 ᎦᎪ ᎠᏩᎾᎦᎶᎢ, ᎠᏴᏃ ᏂᏥᏩᏂᎦᎸᎾ ᎨᏐᎢ? ᎦᎪ ᏚᏬᏕᎯᎰᎢ, ᎠᏴᏃ ᏂᏥᎴᏴᏍᎬᎾ ᎨᏐᎢ?
Who is weak, and I do not feel it? Who is caused to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
30 ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᏎ ᎠᏆᏢᏈᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᏥᏩᎾᎦᎵᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᏓᎦᏢᏆᏏ.
Well, if I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. (aiōn g165)
32 ᏕᎹᏍᎦ ᏫᎨᏙᎲ ᏄᎬᏫᏳᏎᏕᎩ ᎡᎵᏓ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎤᏪᎧᏅᎯ, ᎠᏯᏫᏍᎬᎩ ᎠᏂᏕᎹᏍᎦ ᎤᏂᏚᎲᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏚᎵᏍᎬ ᎠᎩᏂᏴᏗᏱ;
In Damascus the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of the Damascenes, wanting to arrest me;
33 ᎠᏦᎳᏅᏃ ᏓᎬᎩᏄᎪᏫᏒᎩ ᏔᎷᏣᎩᎯ ᎬᏆᏦᏗ ᎬᏆᏠᎥᏔᏅᎩ ᎠᏐᏳᎶᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᏥᏯᏗᏫᏎᎸᎩ.
but I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped from his hands.
