1 I wish you⁺ were bearing with me in a little foolishness, but you⁺ also bear with me. 2 For I am jealous as to you⁺ with the jealousy of God. For I betrothed you⁺ to one husband, to present a pure virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, your⁺ minds might be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is to Christ. 4 For if indeed the one coming proclaims another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or you⁺ receive a different spirit that you⁺ did not receive, or a different gospel that you⁺ did not accept, you⁺ bear with it well. 5 For I reckon in nothing to have been lacking to the “most eminent apostles.” 6 But even if I am unskilled in word, yet not in knowledge; but in every way, we were made manifest to you⁺ in all things. 7 Or did I commit a sin, humbling myself so that you⁺ might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you⁺ freely? 8 I robbed other churches, having received support for ministry to you⁺. 9 And being present with you⁺ and having been in need, I burdened no one; for the brothers having come from Macedonia supplied my need, and in everything I kept and will keep myself unburdensome to you⁺. 2 Corinthians 11:1-9, Berean Literal Bible.
