Paul Defends His Apostleship

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:1 -

I wish G3785 that you would bear G430 with me in a little G3398 foolishness G877; but [fn]indeed G2532 you are bearing G430 with me.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:2 - For I am G2206 jealous G2206 for you with a godly G2316 jealousy G2205; for I betrothed G718 you to one G1520 husband G435, to present G3936 you as a pure G53 virgin G3933 to Christ G5547.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:3 - But I am G5399 afraid G5399 that, as the serpent G3789 deceived G1818 Eve G2096 by his trickery G3834, your minds G3540 will be led G5351 astray G5351 from sincere G572 and pure G54 devotion G572 to Christ G5547.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:4 - For if G1487 [fn]one comes G2064 and preaches G2784 another G243 Jesus G2424 whom G3739 we have not preached G2784, or G2228 you receive G2983 a different G2087 spirit G4151 which G3739 you have not received G2983, or G2228 a different G2087 gospel G2098 which G3739 you have not accepted G1209, this you tolerate G430 very well G2573!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:5 - For I consider G3049 myself not in the least G3367 inferior G5302 to the [fn]most G6088 eminent G6088 apostles G652.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:6 - But even G2532 if G1487 I am unskilled G2399 in speech G3056, yet G235 I am not so in knowledge G1108; in G235 fact G235, in every G3956 way G3956 we have made G5319 this evident G5319 to you in all G3956 things G3956.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:7 -

Or G2228 did I commit G4160 a sin G266 by humbling G5013 myself G1683 so G2443 that G2443 you might be exalted G5312, because G3754 I preached G2097 the gospel G2098 of God G2316 to you without G1432 charge G1432?

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:8 - I robbed G4813 other G243 churches G1577 by taking G2983 wages G3800 from them to serve G1248 you;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:9 - and when I was G3918 present G3918 with you and was G5302 in G5302 need G5302, I was G2655 not a G2655 burden G2655 to G2655 anyone G3762; for when the brothers G80 came G2064 from Macedonia G3109 they fully G4322 supplied G4322 my need G5303, and in everything G3956 I kept G5083 myself G1683 from G4 being G4 a G4 burden G4 to you, [fn]and will continue G5083 to do so.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:10 - As the truth G225 of Christ G5547 is in me, this G3778 boasting G2746 of mine G1519 G1473 will not be stopped G5420 in the regions G2824 of Achaia G882.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:11 - Why G1223 G5101? Because G3754 I do not love G25 you? God G2316 knows G6063 that I do!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:12 -

But what G3739 I am doing G4160 I will also G2532 continue to do G4160, so G2443 that G2443 I may eliminate G1581 the opportunity G874 from those G3588 who want G2309 an opportunity G874 to be [fn]regarded G2147 just G2531 as G2531 we are in the matter about which G3739 they are boasting G2744.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:13 - For such G5108 men G5108 are false G5570 apostles G5570, deceitful G1386 workers G2040, disguising G3345 themselves as apostles G652 of Christ G5547.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:14 - No G3756 wonder G2295, for even G846 Satan G4567 disguises G3345 himself as an angel G32 of light G5457.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:15 - Therefore G3767 it is not surprising G3173 if G1487 his servants G1249 also G2532 disguise G3345 themselves as servants G1249 of righteousness G1343, whose G3739 end G5056 will be according G2596 to their deeds G2041.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:16 -

Again G3825 I say G3004, let no G3361 one G5100 think G1380 me foolish G878; but if G1487 you do, receive G1209 me even G2579 as foolish G878, so G2443 that G2443 I also G2532 may boast G2744 a little G3398.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:17 - What G3739 I am saying G2980, I am not saying G2980 [fn]as the Lord G2962 would, but as in foolishness G877, in this G3778 confidence G5287 of boasting G2746.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:18 - Since G1893 many G4183 boast G2744 according G2596 to the flesh G4561, I will boast G2744 also G2532.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:19 - For you, being G1510 so wise G5429, tolerate G430 the foolish G878 gladly G2234.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:20 - For you tolerate G430 it if G1487 anyone G5100 enslaves G2615 you, if G1487 anyone G5100 devours G2719 you, if G1487 anyone G5100 takes G2983 advantage of you, if G1487 anyone G5100 exalts G1869 himself, if G1487 anyone G5100 hits G1194 you in the face G4383.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:21 - To my shame G819 I must say G3004 that we have been weak G770 by comparison.

But in whatever G3739 G302 respect anyone G5100 else is G5111 bold G5111—I am speaking G3004 in foolishness G877—I too G2532 am G5111 bold G5111.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:22 - Are they Hebrews G1445? So G2532 am I. Are they Israelites G2475? So G2532 am I. Are they [fn]descendants G4690 of Abraham G11? So G2532 am I.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:23 - Are they servants G1249 of Christ G5547?—I am speaking G2980 as if insane G3912—I more G5228 so G5228; in far G4056 more G4056 labors G2873, in far G4056 more G4056 imprisonments G5438, [fn]beaten G4127 times G5234 without G5234 number G5234, often G4178 in danger of death G2288.
