Concern for Their Faithfulness
1Oh, that you would bear with me in a little ⚓folly—and indeed you do bear with me. 2For I am ⚓jealous for you with godly jealousy. For ⚓I have betrothed you to one husband, ⚓that I may present you⚓as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3But I fear, lest somehow, as ⚓the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds ⚓may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a ⚓different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it!
Paul and False Apostles
5For I consider that ⚓I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles. 6Even though ⚓Iam untrained in speech, yet Iam not ⚓in knowledge. But ⚓we have been thoroughly manifested among you in all things. 7Did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you ⚓free of charge? 8I robbed other churches, taking wages fromthem to minister to you. 9And when I was present with you, and in need, ⚓I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked ⚓the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself. 10⚓As the truth of Christ is in me, ⚓no one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 11Why? ⚓Because I do not love you? God knows! 12But what I do, I will also continue to do, ⚓that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. 13For such ⚓are false apostles, ⚓deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into ⚓an angel of light. 15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, ⚓whose end will be according to their works.
Reluctant Boasting
16I say again, let no one think me a fool. If otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little. 17What I speak, ⚓I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. 18Seeing that many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast. 19For you put up with fools gladly, ⚓since you yourselves are wise! 20For you put up with it ⚓if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes fromyou, if one exalts himself, if one strikes you on the face. 21To our shame ⚓I say that we were too weak for that! But ⚓in whatever anyone is bold—I speak foolishly—I am bold also.
Suffering for Christ
22Are they ⚓Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I. 23Are they ministers of Christ?—I speak as a fool—I am more: ⚓in labors more abundant, ⚓in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, ⚓in deaths often. 24From the Jews five times I received ⚓forty ⚓stripes minus one. 25Three times I was ⚓beaten with rods; ⚓once I was stoned; three times I ⚓was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, ⚓in perils of myown countrymen, ⚓in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 27in weariness and toil, ⚓in sleeplessness often, ⚓in hunger and thirst, in ⚓fastings often, in cold and nakedness— 28besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: ⚓my deep concern for all the churches. 29⚓Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn withindignation? 30If I must boast, ⚓I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity. 31⚓The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⚓who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. 32⚓In Damascus the governor, under Aretas the king, was guarding the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desiring to arrest me; 33but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped from his hands.
