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
