- I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness; but indeed you are bearing with me.
- For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.
- But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
- For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully.
- For I consider myself not in the least inferior to the most eminent apostles.
|
- I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness; but you are already doing that.
- I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.
- But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
- For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.
- But I do not think I am in the least inferior to those "super-apostles."
|
- But even if I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not so in knowledge; in fact, in every way we have made this evident to you in all things.
- Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you without charge?
- I robbed other churches by taking wages from them to serve you;
- and when I was present with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for when the brethren came from Macedonia they fully supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will continue to do so.
- As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.
|
- I may not be a trained speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
- Was it a sin for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God to you free of charge?
- I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so as to serve you.
- And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.
- As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, nobody in the regions of Achaia will stop this boasting of mine.
|
- Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
- But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting.
- For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
- No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
- Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.
|
- Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
- And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about.
- For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
- And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
- It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
