2 Corinthians 11:1-9 ▼

1 Would to God ye coulde haue suffred me a litle in my foolishnesse: and in dede ye do forbeare me.

2 For I am gelous ouer you, with Godly gelousie: For I haue coupled you to one man, to present you a chaste virgin vnto Christe.

3 But I feare lest by any meanes, that as the serpent begyled Eue through his subtiltie, euen so your myndes shoulde be corrupted fro the singlenesse that is towarde Christe.

4 For yf he that commeth, preacheth another Iesus, whom we haue not preached: or yf ye receaue another spirite whom ye haue not receaued: either another Gospell which ye haue not receaued, you woulde well haue suffered hym .

5 Ueryly I suppose that I was not behynde the chiefe Apostles.

6 But though I be rude in speakyng, yet not in knowledge, but in all thynges among you, we haue ben well knowen to the vtmost.

7 Dyd I sinne because I submitted my selfe, that ye myght be exalted, & because I preached to you the Gospell of God freely?

8 I robbed other Churches, takyng wages of them, to do you seruice.

9 And when I was present with you, and had nede, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lackyng vnto me, the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied, and in all thynges I haue kept my selfe so that I shoulde not be chargeable to any man, and so wyll I kepe my selfe.
