< 2 Corinthians 11 >

1 I wish you were bearing with me little (a *no) (of foolishness; *N+kO) but indeed you do endure me. 2 I am jealous as to for you of God with [the] jealousy; I have betrothed for you to one husband a virgin pure to present to Christ, 3 I am afraid however lest perhaps as the serpent deceived Eve in the craftiness of him, (thus *k) may be corrupted the minds of you from the simplicity (and the purity *NO) in Christ. 4 If indeed for the [one] coming another Jesus proclaims whom not we did proclaim, or a spirit different you receive which not you did receive, or glad tidings different which not you did accept, well (you are enduring [it]. *N+k+o) 5 I reckon for in nothing to have been inferior to those most eminent most eminent apostles. 6 If however even unpolished in speech [I am], yet not in knowledge, but in every [way] (were manifested *N+kO) in all things to you. 7 Or a sin did I commit myself humbling so that you yourselves may be exalted, because freely the of God gospel I evangelised to you? 8 Other churches I robbed having received support for the toward you service, 9 And being present with you and having been in need not I did burden no [one]; for the need of mine completely filled up the brothers having come from Macedonia, and in everything unburdensome myself to you I kept and will keep. 10 Is [the] truth of Christ in me myself that boasting this not (will be stopped *N+kO) of mine in the regions of Achaia. 11 Because of why? Because surely I do love you? God knows [I do]! 12 What however I do, also I will do, so that I may cut off the opportunity of those desiring an opportunity that in what they are boasting, they may be found even as also we ourselves. 13 For such [are] false apostles, workers deceitful, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ; 14 And no (wonder; *N+kO) himself for Satan masquerades as an angel of light; 15 [It is] not surprising therefore if even the servants of him masquerade as servants of righteousness whose end will be according to the deeds of them. 16 Again I say, no one me may think a fool to be; lest then except indeed even even as a fool do receive me, that I myself also I myself also little a may boast. 17 What I am saying, not according to [the] Lord am I saying but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting. 18 Since many boast according to (the *ko) flesh, I myself also I myself also will boast. 19 Gladly for you bear with fools, wise being! 20 You bear [it] for if anyone you enslaves, if anyone devours [you], if anyone takes [from you], if anyone exalts himself, if anyone in [the] face you strikes. 21 As to dishonor I speak, as that we ourselves (have been weak! *N+kO) In whatever however maybe anyone may be daring — in foolishness I speak — am daring I myself also. I myself also. 22 Hebrews are they? I myself also; I myself also; Israelites are they? I myself also; I myself also; Descendants of Abraham are they? I myself also; I myself also; 23 Servants of Christ are they? As being beside myself I speak; above [measure] I myself[am]. in labors more abundantly in imprisonments more abundantly, in beatings above measure, in deaths often. 24 From [the] Jews five times forty [lashes] minus one I received, 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep [sea] I have passed; 26 in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from [my own] race, in perils from [the] Gentiles, in perils in [the] city, in perils in [the] wilderness, in perils on [the] sea, in perils among false brothers, 27 (in *k) labor and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness; 28 Besides the [things] external the (stoppage on me *N+kO) on every day [is my] care for all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and not I am weak? Who is led into sin, and surely I myself do burn inwardly? 30 If to boast it behooves [me], [in] the [things] of the weakness of mine I will boast. 31 The God and Father of the Lord (of us *k) Jesus (Christ *K) knows, who is being blessed to the ages, that not I am lying. (aiōn g165) 32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king was guarding the city of the Damascenes to seize me (wishing *KO) 33 But through a window in a basket I was let down through the wall and I escaped the hands of him.
