11:2. 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.
11:3. 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.
11:4. 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.
11:5. For I suppose that I have done nothing less than the great
apostles.
11:6. For although I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge: but in all
things we have been made manifest to you.
11:7. Or did I commit a fault, humbling myself that you might be
exalted, because I preached unto you the Gospel of God freely?
11:8. I have taken from other churches, receiving wages of them for your
ministry.
11:9. 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.
11:10. The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shall not be
broken off in me in the regions of Achaia.
11:11. Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth it.
11:12. 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.
11:13. For such false apostles are deceitful workmen, transforming
themselves into the apostles of Christ.
11:14. And no wonder: for Satan himself transformeth himself into an
angel of light.
11:15. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers be transformed as
the ministers of justice, whose end shall be according to their works.
11:16. I say again (Let no man think me to be foolish: otherwise take me
as one foolish, that I also may glory a little):
11:17. That which I speak, I speak not according to God: but as it were
in foolishness, in this matter of glorying.
11:18. Seeing that many glory according to the flesh, I will glory also.
11:19. For you gladly suffer the foolish: whereas yourselves are wise.
11:20. 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.
11:21. I seek according to dishonour, as if we had been weak in this
part. Wherein if any man dare (I speak foolishly), I dare also.
11:22. They are Hebrews: so am I. They are Israelites: so am I. They
are the seed of Abraham: so am I.
11:23. They are the ministers of Christ (I speak as one less wise): I am
more; in many more labours, in prisons more frequently, in stripes above
measure, in deaths often.
11:24. Of the Jews five times did I receive forty stripes save one.
11:25. Thrice was I beaten with rods: once I was stoned: thrice I
suffered shipwreck: a night and a day I was in the depth of the sea.
11:26. In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers,
in perils from my own nation, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in
the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils
from false brethren:
