(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
1
Would that ye could bear with me in a little foolishness: nay indeed bear with me.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
2
For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
3
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
4
For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with him.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
5
For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
6
But though I be rude in speech, yet am I not in knowledge; nay, in everything we have made it manifest among all men to you-ward.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
7
Or did I commit a sin in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God for nought?
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
8
I robbed other churches, taking wages of them that I might minister unto you;
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
9
and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
10
As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this glorying in the regions of Achaia.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
12
But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire an occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
13
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
14
And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
15
It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
16
I say again, Let no man think me foolish; but if ye do, yet as foolish receive me, that I also may glory a little.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
17
That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
20
For ye bear with a man, if he bringeth you into bondage, if he devoureth you, if he taketh you captive, if he exalteth himself, if he smiteth you on the face.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
21
I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet whereinsoever any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
22
Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
23
Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I more; in labours more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths oft.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
25
Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day have I been in the deep;
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
26
in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my countrymen, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
27
in labour and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
28
Beside those things that are without, there is that which presseth upon me daily, anxiety for all the churches.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
30
If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my weakness.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
31
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
32
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes, in order to take me:
(ERV)
2 Corinthians
11
:
33
and through a window was I let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
