47_2CO_11_01 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in [my] folly: and indeed bear with me.
47_2CO_11_02 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.
47_2CO_11_03 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.
47_2CO_11_04 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].
47_2CO_11_05 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
47_2CO_11_06 But though [I be] rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all things.
47_2CO_11_07 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
47_2CO_11_08 I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them], to do you service.
47_2CO_11_09 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].
47_2CO_11_10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
47_2CO_11_11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
47_2CO_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.
47_2CO_11_13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
47_2CO_11_14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
47_2CO_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.
47_2CO_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.
47_2CO_11_17 That which I speak, I speak [it] not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
47_2CO_11_18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
47_2CO_11_19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye [yourselves] are wise.
47_2CO_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.
47_2CO_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.
47_2CO_11_22 Are they Hebrews? so [am] I. Are they Israelites? so [am] I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so [am] I.
47_2CO_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.
47_2CO_11_24 Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one.
47_2CO_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;
47_2CO_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;
47_2CO_11_27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
47_2CO_11_28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
47_2CO_11_29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
47_2CO_11_30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
47_2CO_11_31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
47_2CO_11_32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
47_2CO_11_33 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
