11:1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in [my]
folly: and indeed bear with me.
11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: 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 by any means, as the serpent beguiled
Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted
from the simplicity that is in Christ.
11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we
have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye
have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not
accepted, ye might well bear with [him].
11:5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest
apostles.
11:6 But though [I be] rude in speech, yet not in knowledge;
but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all
things.
11:7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye
might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of
God freely?
11:8 I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them], to do
you service.
11:9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was
chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the
brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all
[things] I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and
[so] will I keep [myself].
11:10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me
of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11:11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
11:12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off
occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they
glory, they may be found even as we.
11:13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an
angel of light.
11:15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also
be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end
shall be according to their works.
11:16 I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise,
yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
11:17 That which I speak, I speak [it] not after the Lord,
but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
11:18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory
also.
11:19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye [yourselves] are
wise.
11:20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a
man devour [you], if a man take [of you], if a man exalt
himself, if a man smite you on the face.
11:21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been
weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I
am bold also.
11:22 Are they Hebrews? so [am] I. Are they Israelites? so
[am] I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so [am] I.
11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I
[am] more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure,
in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
11:24 Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save
one.
11:25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned,
thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in
the deep;
11:26 [In] journeyings often, [in] perils of waters, [in]
perils of robbers, [in] perils by [mine own] countrymen, [in]
perils by the heathen, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in
the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false
brethren;
11:27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in
hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
11:28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh
upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
11:29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I
burn not?
11:30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which
concern mine infirmities.
11:31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is
blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
11:32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the
city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend
me:
11:33 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the
wall, and escaped his hands.
