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

Donations to Christians living in Jerusalem

1 In fact, there is no need for me to write to you about this help of God’s people.
2 Corinthians 9: 1

2 I know you want to help me. I am proud to tell the people of Macedonia about this. I have told them that you people of Achaia have been ready to give alms since last year. And this desire to give has created in many other people the desire to give.
2 Corinthians 9: 2

3 But I am sending the brothers to you. I do not want my pride in you in this matter to be in vain. I want you to be as ready as I told you.
2 Corinthians 9: 3

4If people from Macedonia come with me and find out that you are not ready for it, it would be an insult to us. We would be ashamed to say that we trusted you so much. Needless to say, you too will be ashamed.
2 Corinthians 9: 4

5 So I thought I should send these brothers to you before we come to you. They will be able to make the gift you promised. It will be your gift. Then when we come, the gift you wanted to give will be the festival. Then this gift will be a voluntary gift and not an involuntary one.
2 Corinthians 9: 5

6 Remember this; He who sows little receives little. But he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
2 Corinthians 9: 6

7 Every man should give whatever he has determined in his heart. No one should give with sadness. God loves the one who gives generously.
2 Corinthians 9: 7

8 And God will bless you more than you need. When you always have an abundance of everything. You will have enough to give for every good deed.
2 Corinthians 9: 8

9 It is written, “He gives generously to the poor, and his mercy endures forever.”
2 Corinthians 9: 9

10 It is God who gives seed to the sower. And gives bread for food. And God will give you the spiritual seed and the one who will grow it. He will reap a great harvest from your goodness.
2 Corinthians 9:10

11 God will make you rich in every way so that you can always give generously. And your gift through us will make people thank God.
2 Corinthians 9:11

12 The contribution you make to this service contributes to the needs of God’s people. But your service is not enough. It brings more thanks to God.
2 Corinthians 9:12

13 The contribution you make is a testament to your faith. People will praise God for this. They will praise God because you follow the gospel of Christ, the gospel you believe in. People will praise God because you share with them and with all people.
2 Corinthians 9:13

14 And when they pray, they imagine that they are with you. They will do this because God’s undeserved kindness is with you.
2 Corinthians 9:14

15 Thanks be to God for this wonderful gift.
2 Corinthians 9:15
