2 Corinthians 11:1 (NIV) New International Version

1 I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness; but you are already doing that.
2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.
3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
4 For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.
5 But I do not think I am in the least inferior to those "super-apostles".
6 I may not be a trained speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
7 Was it a sin for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God to you free of charge?
8 I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so as to serve you.
9 And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.
10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, nobody in the regions of Achaia will stop this boasting of mine.
11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
12 And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
16 I repeat: Let no-one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me just as you would a fool, so that I may do a little boasting.
17 In this self-confident boasting I am not talking as the Lord would, but as a fool.
18 Since many are boasting in the way the world does, I too will boast.
19 You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise!
20 In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or pushes himself forward or slaps you in the face.
21 To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that! What anyone else dares to boast about--I am speaking as a fool-- I also dare to boast about.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abraham's descendants? So am I.
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again.
24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea,
26 I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers.
27 I have laboured and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked.
28 Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.
29 Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised for ever, knows that I am not lying.
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me.
33 But I was lowered in a basket from a window in the wall and slipped through his hands.
1 Would to God G3785 INJ ye could bear with G430 V-INI-2P me G3450 P-1GS a little G3397 A-ASN in my folly G877 N-DSF : and G235 CONJ indeed G2532 CONJ bear with G430 V-PNI-2P me G3450 P-1GS .
2 For G1063 CONJ I am jealous G2206 V-PAI-1S over you G5209 P-2AP with godly G2316 N-GSM jealousy G2205 N-DSM : for G1063 CONJ I have espoused G718 V-AMI-1S you G5209 P-2AP to one G1520 A-DSM husband G435 N-DSM , that I may present G3936 V-AAN you as a chaste G53 A-ASF virgin G3933 N-ASF to Christ G5547 N-DSM .
3 But G1161 CONJ I fear G5399 V-PNI-1S , lest by any means G3381 CONJ , as G5613 ADV the G3588 T-NSM serpent G3789 N-NSM beguiled G1818 V-AAI-3S Eve G2096 N-ASF through G1722 PREP his G3588 T-DSF subtlety G3834 N-DSF , so G3779 ADV your G3588 T-NPN minds G3540 N-NPN should be corrupted G5351 V-2APS-3S from G575 PREP the G3588 T-GSF simplicity G572 N-GSF that G3588 T-GSF is in G1519 PREP Christ G5547 N-ASM .
4 For G1063 CONJ if G1487 COND he that cometh G2064 V-PNP-NSM preacheth G2784 V-PAI-3S another G243 A-ASM Jesus G2424 N-ASM , whom G3739 R-ASM we have not G3756 PRT-N preached G2784 V-AAI-1P , or G2228 PRT if ye receive G2983 V-PAI-2P another G2087 A-ASN spirit G4151 N-ASN , which G3739 R-ASN ye have not G3756 PRT-N received G2983 V-2AAI-2P , or G2228 PRT another G2087 A-ASN gospel G2098 N-ASN , which G3739 R-ASN ye have not G3756 PRT-N accepted G1209 V-ADI-2P , ye might well G2573 ADV bear with G430 V-INI-2P him .
5 For G1063 CONJ I suppose G3049 V-PNI-1S I was not a whit behind G5302 V-RAN the G3588 T-GPM very chiefest G5228 PREP apostles G652 N-GPM .
6 But G1161 CONJ though G1487 COND I be rude G2399 N-NAM in speech G3056 N-DSM , yet G235 CONJ not G3756 PRT-N in knowledge G1108 N-DSF ; but G235 CONJ we have been throughly G1722 PREP made manifest G5319 V-APP-NPM among G1519 PREP you G5209 P-2AP in G1722 PREP all things G3956 A-DSN .
7 Have I committed G4160 V-AAI-1S an offense G266 N-ASF in abasing G5013 V-PAP-NSM myself G1683 F-1ASM that G2443 CONJ ye G5210 P-2NP might be exalted G5312 V-APS-2P , because G3754 CONJ I have preached G2097 V-AMI-1S to you G5213 P-2DP the G3588 T-ASN gospel G2098 N-ASN of God G2316 N-GSM freely G1432 ADV ?
8 I robbed G4813 V-AAI-1S other G243 A-APF churches G1577 N-APF , taking G2983 V-2AAP-NSM wages G3800 N-ASN of G3588 T-ASF them G3588 T-ASF , to G4314 PREP do you G5216 P-2GP service G1248 N-ASF .
9 And G2532 CONJ when I was present G3918 V-PXP-NSM with G4314 PREP you G5209 P-2AP , and G2532 CONJ wanted G5302 V-APP-NSM , I G3756 PRT-N was chargable G2655 V-AAI-1S to no man G3762 A-GSM : for G1063 CONJ that which was lacking G5303 N-ASN to me G3450 P-1GS the G3588 T-NPM brethren G80 N-NPM which came G2064 V-2AAP-NPM from G575 PREP Macedonia G3109 N-GSF supplied G4322 V-AAI-3P : and G2532 CONJ in G1722 PREP all G3956 A-DSN things I have kept G5083 V-AAI-1S myself G1683 F-1ASM from being burdensome G4 A-ASM unto you G5213 P-2DP , and G2532 CONJ so will I keep G5083 V-FAI-1S myself .
10 As the truth G225 N-NSF of Christ G5547 N-GSM is G2076 V-PXI-3S in G1722 PREP me G1698 P-1DS , no man G3754 CONJ shall stop G4972 me G1691 P-1AS of G3588 T-NSF this G3588 T-NSF boasting G2746 N-NSF in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DPN regions G2824 N-DPN of Achaia G882 N-GSF .
11 Wherefore G1302 ? because G3754 CONJ I love G25 V-PAI-1S you G5209 P-2AP not G3756 PRT-N ? God G2316 N-NSM knoweth G1492 V-RAI-3S .
12 But G1161 CONJ what G3739 R-ASN I do G4160 V-PAI-1S , that I G2532 CONJ will do G4160 V-FAI-1S , that G2443 CONJ I G3588 T-ASF may cut off G1581 V-AAS-1S occasion G874 N-ASF from them which desire G2309 V-PAP-GPM occasion G874 N-ASF ; that G2443 CONJ wherein G1722 PREP they glory G2744 V-PNI-3P , they may be found G2147 V-APS-3P even G2532 CONJ as G2531 ADV we G2249 P-1NP .
13 For G1063 CONJ such G5108 D-NPM are false apostles G5570 N-NPM , deceitful G1386 A-NPM workers G2040 N-NPM , transforming themselves G3345 V-PMP-NPM into G1519 PREP the apostles G652 N-APM of Christ G5547 N-GSM .
14 And G2532 CONJ no G3756 PRT-N marvel G2298 A-NSN ; for G3588 T-NSM Satan G4567 N-NSM himself G846 P-NSM is transformed G3345 V-PMI-3S into G1519 PREP an angel G32 N-ASM of light G5457 N-GSN .
15 Therefore G3767 CONJ it is no G3756 PRT-N great thing G3173 A-NSN if G1499 his G3588 T-NPM ministers G1249 N-NPM also be transformed G3345 V-PPI-3P as G5613 ADV the ministers G1249 N-NPM of righteousness G1343 N-GSF ; whose G3739 R-GPM end G5056 N-NSN shall be G2071 V-FXI-3S according G2596 PREP to their G3588 T-APN works G2041 N-APN .
16 I say G3004 V-PAI-1S again G3825 ADV , Let no G3361 PRT-N man G5100 X-NSM think G1380 V-AAS-3S me G3165 P-1AS a G1511 V-PXN fool G878 A-ASM ; if otherwise G1490 , yet G2579 COND-C as G5613 ADV a fool G878 A-ASM receive G1209 V-ADM-2P me G3165 P-1AS , that G2443 CONJ I G2504 P-1NS-C may boast G2744 V-ADS-1S myself a little G3397 A-ASN .
17 That G3739 R-ASN which I speak G2980 V-PAI-1S , I speak G2980 V-PAI-1S it not G3756 PRT-N after G2596 PREP the Lord G2962 N-ASM , but G235 CONJ as it were G5613 ADV foolishly G1722 PREP , in G1722 PREP this G3588 T-DSF confidence G5287 N-DSF of boasting G2746 N-GSF .
18 Seeing that G1893 CONJ many G4183 A-NPM glory G2744 V-PNI-3P after G2596 PREP the G3588 T-ASF flesh G4561 N-ASF , I will glory also G2504 P-1NS-C .
19 For G1063 CONJ ye G3588 T-GPM suffer G430 V-PNI-2P fools G878 A-GPM gladly G2234 ADV , seeing ye yourselves are G5607 V-PXP-NPM wise G5429 A-NPM .
20 For G1063 CONJ ye suffer G430 V-PNI-2P , if a man G1536 bring you into bondage G2615 V-PAI-3S , if a man G1536 devour G2719 V-PAI-3S you , if a man G1536 take G2983 V-PAI-3S of you , if a man G1536 exalt himself G1869 V-PMI-3S , if a man G1536 smite G1194 V-PAI-3S you G5209 P-2AP on G1519 PREP the face G4383 N-ASN .
21 I speak G3004 V-PAI-1S as concerning G2596 PREP reproach G819 N-ASF , as G5613 ADV though G3754 CONJ we G2249 P-1NP had been weak G770 V-AAI-1P . Howbeit G1161 CONJ whereinsoever G1722 PREP any G5100 X-NSM is bold , I G5111 V-PAS-3S ( V-PAI-1S speak G3004 V-PAI-1S foolishly G1722 PREP , ) I am bold also G2504 P-1NS-C .
22 Are G1526 V-PXI-3P they Hebrews G1445 A-NPM ? so am I G2504 P-1NS-C . Are G1526 V-PXI-3P they Israelites G2475 N-NPM ? so am I G2504 P-1NS-C . Are G1526 V-PXI-3P they the seed G4690 N-NSN of Abraham G11 N-PRI ? so am I G2504 P-1NS-C .
23 Are G1526 V-PXI-3P they ministers G1249 N-NPM of Christ ? I G5547 N-GSM ( V-PAI-1S speak G2980 V-PAI-1S as a fool G3912 V-PAP-NSM ) I G1473 P-1NS am more G5228 PREP ; in G1722 PREP labors G2873 N-DPM more abundant G4056 ADV , in G1722 PREP stripes G4127 N-DPF above measure G5234 ADV , in G1722 PREP prisons G5438 N-DPF more frequent G4056 ADV , in G1722 PREP deaths G2288 N-DPM oft G4178 ADV .
24 Of G5259 PREP the Jews G2453 A-GPM five times G3999 ADV received G2983 V-2AAI-1S I forty G5062 A-NUI stripes save G3844 PREP one G3391 .
25 Thrice G5151 ADV was I beaten with rods G4463 V-API-3S , once G530 ADV was I stoned G3034 V-API-1S , thrice G5151 ADV I suffered shipwreck G3489 V-AAI-1S , a night and a day G3574 N-ASN I have been G4160 V-RAI-1S in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSM deep G1037 N-DSM ;
26 In journeyings G3597 N-DPF often G4178 ADV , in perils G2794 N-DPM of waters G4215 N-GPM , in perils G2794 N-DPM of robbers G3027 N-GPM , in perils G2794 N-DPM by G1537 PREP mine own countrymen G1085 N-GSN , in perils G2794 N-DPM by G1537 PREP the heathen G1484 N-GPN , in perils G2794 N-DPM in G1722 PREP the city G4172 N-DSF , in perils G2794 N-DPM in G1722 PREP the wilderness G2047 N-DSF , in perils G2794 N-DPM in G1722 PREP the sea G2281 N-DSF , in perils G2794 N-DPM among G1722 PREP false brethren G5569 N-DPM ;
27 In G1722 PREP weariness G2873 N-DSM and G2532 CONJ painfulness G3449 N-DSM , in G1722 PREP watchings G70 N-DPF often G4178 ADV , in G1722 PREP hunger G3042 N-DSM and G2532 CONJ thirst G1372 , in G1722 PREP fastings G3521 N-DPF often G4178 ADV , in G1722 PREP cold G5592 N-DSN and G2532 CONJ nakedness G1132 N-DSF .
28 Beside G5565 ADV those things that are without G3924 ADV , that which cometh upon G1999 N-NSF me G3588 T-NSF daily G2596 PREP , the G3588 T-NSF care G3308 N-NSF of all G3956 A-GPF the G3588 T-GPF churches G1577 N-GPF .
29 Who G5101 I-NSM is weak G770 V-PAI-3S , and G2532 CONJ I am not weak G770 V-PAI-1S ? who G5101 I-NSM is offended G4624 V-PPI-3S , and G2532 CONJ I G1473 P-1NS burn G4448 V-PPI-1S not G3756 PRT-N ?
30 If G1487 COND I must needs G1163 V-PQI-3S glory G2744 V-PNN , I will glory G2744 V-FDI-1S of the things G3588 T-APN which G3588 T-GSF concern mine G3588 T-GSF infirmities G769 N-GSF .
31 The G3588 T-NSM God G2316 N-NSM and G2532 CONJ Father G3962 N-NSM of G3588 T-GSM our G3588 T-GSM Lord G2962 N-GSM Jesus G2424 N-GSM Christ G5547 N-GSM , which is G5607 V-PXP-NSM blessed G2128 A-NSM forevermore G1519 PREP , knoweth G1492 V-RAI-3S that G3754 CONJ I lie G5574 V-PNI-1S not G3756 PRT-N .
32 In G1722 PREP Damascus G1154 N-DSF the G3588 T-NSM governor G1481 N-NSM under Aretas G702 N-GSM the G3588 T-GSM king G935 N-GSM kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison G5432 V-IAI-3S , desirous G2309 V-PAP-NSM to apprehend G4084 V-AAN me G3165 P-1AS :
33 And G2532 CONJ through G1223 PREP a window G2376 N-GSF in G1722 PREP a basket G4553 N-DSF was I let down G5465 V-API-1S by G1223 PREP the G3588 T-GSN wall G5038 N-GSN , and G2532 CONJ escaped G1628 V-2AAI-1S his G3588 T-APF hands G5495 N-APF .
