2|Cor.|11:1|-|I wish that you would |a|bear with me in a little |1b|foolishness; but indeed you do bear with me.
2|Cor.|11:2|-|For I am jealous over you with a |1a|jealousy of God; for I |b|betrothed you to one husband to |c|present you as a pure |2d|virgin to Christ.
2|Cor.|11:3|-|But I fear lest somehow, as the |a|serpent |b|deceived |c|Eve by his |d|craftiness, your |1e|thoughts would be corrupted from the |2f|simplicity and the |g|purity toward Christ.
2|Cor.|11:4|-|For if indeed he who comes preaches |1a|another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or you receive a |1b|different spirit, which you have not received, or a |1c|different gospel, which you have not accepted, you |d|bear |2|well with him.
2|Cor.|11:5|-|But I count myself to be inferior to the |1a|super-apostles in nothing.
2|Cor.|11:6|-|But even if I am a |1|layman in |a|speech, yet I am not in |b|knowledge; indeed in every way we have made this |c|manifest in all things to you.
2|Cor.|11:7|-|Or did I commit a sin, abasing myself that you might be exalted, because I announced the gospel of God to you |a|free of charge?
2|Cor.|11:8|-|I robbed other churches, taking wages for the ministry to you.
2|Cor.|11:9|-|And when I was present with you and |a|lacked, I was not a |b|burden to anyone; for the brothers who came from |c|Macedonia |d|filled up my lack, and in everything I kept myself from being |e|burdensome to you, and will keep myself.
2|Cor.|11:10|-|The |1|truthfulness of Christ is in me, that this |a|boasting shall not be stopped as it regards me in the regions of |b|Achaia.
2|Cor.|11:11|-|Why? Because I do not |a|love you? God |b|knows.
2|Cor.|11:12|-|But what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the opportunity of those desiring an opportunity, that in the thing in which they boast, they may be found even as we.
2|Cor.|11:13|-|For such ones are |1a|false apostles, deceitful |b|workers, |2|transfiguring themselves into apostles of Christ.
2|Cor.|11:14|-|And no wonder, for |1a|Satan himself transfigures himself into an |2b|angel of light.
2|Cor.|11:15|-|Therefore it is no great thing if also his ministers transfigure themselves into |1|ministers of righteousness, whose |a|end will be according to their works.
2|Cor.|11:16|-|Again I say, Let no one think me to be |a|foolish; but if otherwise, accept me even as if I were foolish, that I also may |b|boast a little.
2|Cor.|11:17|-|What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord but as if in |a|foolishness, in this |1b|confidence of boasting.
2|Cor.|11:18|-|Since many |a|boast according to the |b|flesh, I also will |c|boast.
2|Cor.|11:19|-|For you |a|bear gladly with |b|fools because you yourselves are |1|wise.
2|Cor.|11:20|-|For you bear it if anyone |a|enslaves you, if anyone |b|devours you, if anyone |1|takes you, if anyone |c|lifts himself up, if anyone beats you in the face.
2|Cor.|11:21|-||1|By way of self-disparagement I say this, |2|Supposedly we ourselves were |a|weak. But in whatever anyone else is daring, I speak in |b|foolishness, I also am |c|daring.
2|Cor.|11:22|-||1a|Hebrews are they? I also. |1b|Israelites are they? I also. The |1c|seed of Abraham are they? I also.
2|Cor.|11:23|-||a|Ministers of Christ are they? I speak as being |1b|beside myself, I more so! In |c|labors more abundantly, in |d|imprisonments more abundantly, in |e|stripes |2|excessively, in |f|deaths often.
2|Cor.|11:24|-|Under the hands of the Jews five times I received |a|forty stripes less one;
2|Cor.|11:25|-|Three times I was beaten with |1|rods, once I was |a|stoned, |2|three times I was |b|shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep;
2|Cor.|11:26|-|In journeys often, in dangers of |1|rivers, in dangers of |2|robbers, in dangers from my |a|race, in dangers from the Gentiles, in dangers in the |b|city, in dangers in the wilderness, in dangers in the sea, in dangers among |3c|false brothers;
2|Cor.|11:27|-|In |a|labor and hardship; in |1|watchings often; in |2b|hunger and thirst; in |2c|fastings often; in |3|cold and |4d|nakedness—
2|Cor.|11:28|-|Apart from the things which have |1|not been mentioned, there is this: the crowd of cares pressing upon me daily, the |2|anxious concern for |a|all the churches.
2|Cor.|11:29|-|Who is |a|weak, and I am not weak? Who is |b|stumbled, and |1|I myself do not |2|burn?
2|Cor.|11:30|-|If I must |a|boast, I will boast of the |1|things of my |b|weakness.
2|Cor.|11:31|-|The |a|God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is |b|blessed forever, |c|knows that I am |d|not lying.
2|Cor.|11:32|-|In |a|Damascus, the |1|governor under Aretas the king |b|guarded the city of the Damascenes in order to seize me;
2|Cor.|11:33|-|And in a basket I was |a|lowered through a window, through the wall, and escaped his hands.
