2Corinthians:11:1 @
Would to God you could bear with some little of my folly :
but do bear with me .
drb @
2Corinthians: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 .
drb @
2Corinthians: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 .
drb @
2Corinthians: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 .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:5 @
For I suppose that I have done nothing less than the great apostles .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:6 @
For although I be rude in speech ,
yet not in knowledge ;
but in all things we have been made manifest to you .
drb @
2Corinthians: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 ?
drb @
2Corinthians:11:8 @
I have taken from other churches ,
receiving wages of them for your ministry .
drb @
2Corinthians: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 .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:10 @
The truth of Christ is in me ,
that this glorying shall not be broken off in me in the regions of Achaia .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:11 @
Wherefore ?
Because I love you not ?
God knoweth it
drb @
2Corinthians: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 .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:13 @
For such false apostles are deceitful workmen ,
transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:14 @
And no wonder :
for Satan himself transformeth himself into an angel of light .
drb @
2Corinthians: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 .
drb @
2Corinthians: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 .)
drb @
2Corinthians:11:17 @
That which I speak ,
I speak not according to God ,
but as it were in foolishness ,
in this matter of glorying .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:18 @
Seeing that many glory according to the flesh ,
I will glory also .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:19 @
For you gladly suffer the foolish ;
whereas yourselves are wise .
drb @
2Corinthians: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 .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:21 @
I speak according to dishonour ,
as if we had been weak in this part .
Wherein if any man dare (
I speak foolishly ),
I dare also .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:22 @
They are Hebrews :
so am I .
They are Israelites :
so am I .
They are the seed of Abraham :
so am I .
drb @
2Corinthians: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 .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:24 @
Of the Jews five times did I receive forty stripes ,
save one .
drb @
2Corinthians: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 .
drb @
2Corinthians: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 .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:27 @
In labour and painfulness ,
in much watchings ,
in hunger and thirst ,
in fastings often ,
in cold and nakedness .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:28 @
Besides those things which are without :
my daily instance ,
the solicitude for all the churches .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:29 @
Who is weak ,
and I am not weak ?
Who is scandalized ,
and I am not on fire ?
drb @
2Corinthians:11:30 @
If I must needs glory ,
I will glory of the things that concern my infirmity .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:31 @
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
who is blessed for ever ,
knoweth that I lie not .

2Corinthians:11:32 @
At Damascus ,
the governor of the nation under Aretas the king ,
guarded the city of the Damascenes ,
to apprehend me .
drb @
2Corinthians:11:33 @
And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall ,
and so escaped his hands .
