11:1 I
wish
you
would
bear
with
me
in
a
little
foolishness.
Do
bear
with
me!
11:2 For
I
feel
a
divine
jealousy
for
you,
since
I
betrothed
you
to
one
husband,
to
present
you
as
a
pure
virgin
to
Christ.
11:3 But
I
am
afraid
that
as
the
serpent
deceived
Eve
by
his
cunning,
your
thoughts
will
be
led
astray
from
a
sincere
and
pure
devotion
to
Christ.
11:4 For
if
someone
comes
and
proclaims
another
Jesus
than
the
one
we
proclaimed,
or
if
you
receive
a
different
spirit
from
the
one
you
received,
or
if
you
accept
a
different
gospel
from
the
one
you
accepted,
you
put
up
with
it
readily
enough.
11:5 Indeed,
I
consider
that
I
am
not
in
the
least
inferior
to
these
super-apostles.
11:6 Even
if
I
am
unskilled
in
speaking,
I
am
not
so
in
knowledge;
indeed,
in
every
way
we
have
made
this
plain
to
you
in
all
things.
11:7 Or
did
I
commit
a
sin
in
humbling
myself
so
that
you
might
be
exalted,
because
I
preached
God's
gospel
to
you
free
of
charge
11:8 I
robbed
other
churches
by
accepting
support
from
them
in
order
to
serve
you.
11:9 And
when
I
was
with
you
and
was
in
need,
I
did
not
burden
anyone,
for
the
brothers
who
came
from
Macedonia
supplied
my
need.
So
I
refrained
and
will
refrain
from
burdening
you
in
any
way.
11:10 As
the
truth
of
Christ
is
in
me,
this
boasting
of
mine
will
not
be
silenced
in
the
regions
of
Achaia.
11:11 And
why
Because
I
do
not
love
you
God
knows
I
do!
11:12 And
what
I
do
I
will
continue
to
do,
in
order
to
undermine
the
claim
of
those
who
would
like
to
claim
that
in
their
boasted
mission
they
work
on
the
same
terms
as
we
do.
11:13 For
such
men
are
false
apostles,
deceitful
workmen,
disguising
themselves
as
apostles
of
Christ.
11:14 And
no
wonder,
for
even
Satan
disguises
himself
as
an
angel
of
light.
11:15 So
it
is
no
surprise
if
his
servants,
also,
disguise
themselves
as
servants
of
righteousness.
Their
end
will
correspond
to
their
deeds.
11:16 I
repeat,
let
no
one
think
me
foolish.
But
even
if
you
do,
accept
me
as
a
fool,
so
that
I
too
may
boast
a
little.
11:17 What
I
am
saying
with
this
boastful
confidence,
I
say
not
with
the
Lord's
authority
but
as
a
fool.
11:18 Since
many
boast
according
to
the
flesh,
I
too
will
boast.
11:19 For
you
gladly
bear
with
fools,
being
wise
yourselves!
11:20 For
you
bear
it
if
someone
makes
slaves
of
you,
or
devours
you,
or
takes
advantage
of
you,
or
puts
on
airs,
or
strikes
you
in
the
face.
11:21 To
my
shame,
I
must
say,
we
were
too
weak
for
that!
But
whatever
anyone
else
dares
to
boast
of--I
am
speaking
as
a
fool--I
also
dare
to
boast
of
that.
11:22 Are
they
Hebrews
So
am
I.
Are
they
Israelites
So
am
I.
Are
they
offspring
of
Abraham
So
am
I.
11:23 Are
they
servants
of
Christ
I
am
a
better
one--I
am
talking
like
a
madman--with
far
greater
labors,
far
more
imprisonments,
with
countless
beatings,
and
often
near
death.
11:24 Five
times
I
received
at
the
hands
of
the
Jews
the
forty
lashes
less
one.
11:25 Three
times
I
was
beaten
with
rods.
Once
I
was
stoned.
Three
times
I
was
shipwrecked;
a
night
and
a
day
I
was
adrift
at
sea;
11:26 on
frequent
journeys,
in
danger
from
rivers,
danger
from
robbers,
danger
from
my
own
people,
danger
from
Gentiles,
danger
in
the
city,
danger
in
the
wilderness,
danger
at
sea,
danger
from
false
brothers;
11:27 in
toil
and
hardship,
through
many
a
sleepless
night,
in
hunger
and
thirst,
often
without
food,
in
cold
and
exposure.
11:28 And,
apart
from
other
things,
there
is
the
daily
pressure
on
me
of
my
anxiety
for
all
the
churches.
11:29 Who
is
weak,
and
I
am
not
weak
Who
is
made
to
fall,
and
I
am
not
indignant
11:30 If
I
must
boast,
I
will
boast
of
the
things
that
show
my
weakness.
11:31 The
God
and
Father
of
the
Lord
Jesus,
he
who
is
blessed
forever,
knows
that
I
am
not
lying.
11:32 At
Damascus,
the
governor
under
King
Aretas
was
guarding
the
city
of
Damascus
in
order
to
seize
me,
11:33 but
I
was
let
down
in
a
basket
through
a
window
in
the
wall
and
escaped
his
hands.
