Paul and the false apostles

1 I want you to be patient with me even when I am a little foolish but you are already patient with me.
2 Corinthians 11: 1

2 I am jealous of you. And this jealousy comes from God. I promise to give you Christ so that only he can be your husband. I want to present you to Christ to be her virginity.
2 Corinthians 11: 2

3 But I fear, lest by any means, your hearts turn away from righteousness and Christ. As the wind was deceived by the serpent’s devilish plan.
2 Corinthians 11: 3

4 You are very humble with everyone who comes to you. Who preaches about Jesus things that are different from our preaching. You are willing to accept a spirit or gospel that is different from the spirit and gospel that you have received from us. Then you must be patient with me.
2 Corinthians 11: 4

5 I do not think that those “great apostles” are in any way superior to me.
2 Corinthians 11: 5

6 It is true that I am not a good speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every way.
2 Corinthians 11: 6

7 I have preached to you the gospel of God without pay. I humbled myself so that I could make you important. Do you think that I was wrong?
2 Corinthians 11: 7

8 I received a salary from other churches. I took money from them to serve you.
2 Corinthians 11: 8

9 When I was with you, I needed something. But I did not hurt any of you. The brothers from Macedonia gave me everything I needed. I was not a burden to you. And I will never be a burden to you in the future.
2 Corinthians 11: 9

10 No one from Achaia can stop me from boasting about this. I say this with the truth of Christ within me.
2 Corinthians 11:10

11 And why am I not a burden to you? Do you think that is because I do not love you? No God knows I love you.
2 Corinthians 11:11

12 And I will continue to do what I am doing now, so that those people will have no reason to brag. They like to show that the work they are boasting about is like our work.
2 Corinthians 11:12

13 These people are not true apostles. They do things that lie. They disguise themselves as apostles of Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:13

14 This makes us wonder. Satan also disguises himself as an angel of light.
2 Corinthians 11:14

15 So we are not surprised when Satan’s servants disguise themselves as servants of the truth. But in the end, those people will be punished for what they did.
2 Corinthians 11:15

God has spoken through the Son

1 In the past, God spoke to our ancestors through prophets. God spoke to them.
Hebrews 1: 1

2 And now in these last days God has spoken to us again. God has spoken to us through his Son. God created the whole world through his Son. God made it through his Son. God chose his Son to be the heir of all things.
Hebrews 1: 2

3 The Son represents the glory of God. He is the perfect imitation of God’s nature. The Son binds everything by His mighty command. The Son cleansed the people from their sins. Then he sat down at the right hand of the Great One who lives in heaven.
Hebrews 1: 3

4 God gave him a name greater than any angel’s name. And he became even greater than the angel.
Hebrews 1: 4
