Dual Panel1Would to God <3785> ye could bear <430> (5711) with me <3450> a little <3397> in [my] folly <877>_: and <2532> indeed <235> bear <430> (5736) with me <3450>_. {indeed bear...: or, indeed ye do bear with me}
2For <1063> I am jealous <2206> (5719) over you <5209> with godly <2316> jealousy <2205>_: for <1063> I have espoused <718> (5668) you <5209> to one <1520> husband <435>_, that I may present <3936> (5658) [you as] a chaste <53> virgin <3933> to Christ <5547>_.
3But <1161> I fear <5399> (5736)_, lest <3381> by any means <4458>_, as <5613> the serpent <3789> beguiled <1818> (5656) Eve <2096> through <1722> his <846> subtilty <3834>_, so <3779> your <5216> minds <3540> should be corrupted <5351> (5652) from <575> the simplicity <572> that is in <1519> Christ <5547>_.
4For <1063> if <1487> <3303> he that cometh <2064> (5740) preacheth <2784> (5719) another <243> Jesus <2424>_, whom <3739> we have <2784> (0) not <3756> preached <2784> (5656)_, or <2228> [if] ye receive <2983> (5719) another <2087> spirit <4151>_, which <3739> ye have <2983> (0) not <3756> received <2983> (5627)_, or <2228> another <2087> gospel <2098>_, which <3739> ye have <1209> (0) not <3756> accepted <1209> (5662)_, ye might <430> (0) well <2573> bear with <430> (5711) [him]. {with him: or, with me}
5For <1063> I suppose <3049> (5736) I was <5302> (0) not a whit <3367> behind <5302> (5760) the very <5228> chiefest <3029> apostles <652>_.
6But <1161> though <1499> [I be] rude <2399> in speech <3056>_, yet <235> not <3756> in knowledge <1108>_; but <235> we have been throughly <1722> <3956> made manifest <5319> (5685) among <1519> you <5209> in <1722> all things <3956>_.
7<2228> Have I committed <4160> (5656) an offence <266> in abasing <5013> (5723) myself <1683> that <2443> ye <5210> might be exalted <5312> (5686)_, because <3754> I have preached <2097> (5668) to you <5213> the gospel <2098> of God <2316> freely <1432>_?
8I robbed <4813> (5656) other <243> churches <1577>_, taking <2983> (5631) wages <3800> [of them], to <4314> do <1248> (0) you <5216> service <1248>_.
9And <2532> when I was present <3918> (5752) with <4314> you <5209>_, and <2532> wanted <5302> (5685)_, I was <3756> chargeable <2655> (5656) to no man <3762>_: for <1063> that which was lacking <5303> to me <3450> the brethren <80> which came <2064> (5631) from <575> Macedonia <3109> supplied <4322> (5656)_: and <2532> in <1722> all <3956> [things] I have kept <5083> (5656) myself <1683> from being burdensome <4> unto you <5213>_, and <2532> [so] will I keep <5083> (5692) [myself].
10As the truth <225> of Christ <5547> is <2076> (5748) in <1722> me <1698>_, <3754> no man <3756> shall stop <4972> (5695) (5625) <5420> (5691) me <1519> <1691> of this <3778> boasting <2746> in <1722> the regions <2824> of Achaia <882>_. {no man...: Gr. this boasting shall not be stopped in me}
11Wherefore <1302>_? because <3754> I love <25> (5719) you <5209> not <3756>_? God <2316> knoweth <1492> (5758)_.
12But <1161> what <3739> I do <4160> (5719)_, that <2532> I will do <4160> (5692)_, that <2443> I may cut off <1581> (5661) occasion <874> from them which desire <2309> (5723) occasion <874>_; that <2443> wherein <1722> <3739> they glory <2744> (5736)_, they may be found <2147> (5686) even <2532> as <2531> we <2249>_.
13For <1063> such <5108> [are] false apostles <5570>_, deceitful <1386> workers <2040>_, transforming themselves <3345> (5734) into <1519> the apostles <652> of Christ <5547>_.
14And <2532> no <3756> marvel <2298>_; for <1063> Satan <4567> himself <846> is transformed <3345> (5731) into <1519> an angel <32> of light <5457>_.
15Therefore <3767> [it is] no <3756> great thing <3173> if <1499> (0) his <846> ministers <1249> also <1499> be transformed <3345> (5743) as <5613> the ministers <1249> of righteousness <1343>_; whose <3739> end <5056> shall be <2071> (5704) according <2596> to their <846> works <2041>_.
16I say <3004> (5719) again <3825>_, Let <1380> (0) no <3361> man <5100> think <1380> (5661) me <1511> (5750) <3165> a fool <878>_; if otherwise <1490>_, yet <2579> as <5613> a fool <878> receive <1209> (5663) me <3165>_, that <2443> I <2504> may boast myself <2744> (5667) a <5100> little <3397>_. {receive: or, suffer}
17That which <3739> I speak <2980> (5719)_, I speak <2980> (5719) [it] not <3756> after <2596> the Lord <2962>_, but <235> as <5613> it were foolishly <1722> <877>_, in <1722> this <5026> confidence <5287> of boasting <2746>_.
18Seeing that <1893> many <4183> glory <2744> (5736) after <2596> the flesh <4561>_, I will glory <2744> (5695) also <2504>_.
19For <1063> ye suffer <430> (5736) fools <878> gladly <2234>_, seeing ye [yourselves] are <5607> (5752) wise <5429>_.
20For <1063> ye suffer <430> (5736)_, if a man <1536> bring <2615> (0) you <5209> into bondage <2615> (5719)_, if a man <1536> devour <2719> (5719) [you], if a man <1536> take <2983> (5719) [of you], if a man <1536> exalt himself <1869> (5731)_, if a man <1536> smite <1194> (5719) you <5209> on <1519> the face <4383>_.
21I speak <3004> (5719) as concerning <2596> reproach <819>_, as <5613> though <3754> we <2249> had been weak <770> (5656)_. Howbeit <1161> whereinsoever <1722> <3739> <302> any <5100> is bold <5111> (5725)_, (I speak <3004> (5719) foolishly <1722> <877>,) I am bold <5111> (5719) also <2504>_.
22Are they <1526> (5748) Hebrews <1445>_? so [am] I <2504>_. Are they <1526> (5748) Israelites <2475>_? so [am] I <2504>_. Are they <1526> (5748) the seed <4690> of Abraham <11>_? so [am] I <2504>_.
23Are they <1526> (5748) ministers <1249> of Christ <5547>_? (I speak <2980> (5719) as a fool <3912> (5723)) I <1473> [am] more <5228>_; in <1722> labours <2873> more abundant <4056>_, in <1722> stripes <4127> above measure <5234>_, in <1722> prisons <5438> more frequent <4056>_, in <1722> deaths <2288> oft <4178>_.
24Of <5259> the Jews <2453> five times <3999> received I <2983> (5627) forty <5062> [stripes] save <3844> one <3391>_.
25Thrice <5151> was I beaten with rods <4463> (5681)_, once <530> was I stoned <3034> (5681)_, thrice <5151> I suffered shipwreck <3489> (5656)_, a night and a day <3574> I have been <4160> (5758) in <1722> the deep <1037>_;
26[In] journeyings <3597> often <4178>_, [in] perils <2794> of waters <4215>_, [in] perils <2794> of robbers <3027>_, [in] perils <2794> by <1537> [mine own] countrymen <1085>_, [in] perils <2794> by <1537> the heathen <1484>_, [in] perils <2794> in <1722> the city <4172>_, [in] perils <2794> in <1722> the wilderness <2047>_, [in] perils <2794> in <1722> the sea <2281>_, [in] perils <2794> among <1722> false brethren <5569>_;
27In <1722> weariness <2873> and <2532> painfulness <3449>_, in <1722> watchings <70> often <4178>_, in <1722> hunger <3042> and <2532> thirst <1373>_, in <1722> fastings <3521> often <4178>_, in <1722> cold <5592> and <2532> nakedness <1132>_.
28Beside <5565> those things that are without <3924>_, that which <3588> cometh upon <1999> me <3450> daily <2250>_, <2596> the care <3308> of all <3956> the churches <1577>_.
29Who <5101> is weak <770> (5719)_, and <2532> I am <770> (0) not <3756> weak <770> (5719)_? who <5101> is offended <4624> (5743)_, and <2532> I <1473> burn <4448> (5743) not <3756>_?
30If <1487> I must needs <1163> (5748) glory <2744> (5738)_, I will glory <2744> (5695) of the things which concern <3588> mine <3450> infirmities <769>_.
31The God <2316> and <2532> Father <3962> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>_, which <3588> is <5607> (5752) blessed <2128> for <1519> evermore <165>_, knoweth <1492> (5758) that I <3754> lie <5574> (5736) not <3756>_.
32In <1722> Damascus <1154> the governor <1481> under Aretas <702> the king <935> kept <5432> (0) the city <4172> of the Damascenes <1153> with a garrison <5432> (5707)_, desirous <2309> (5723) to apprehend <4084> (5658) me <3165>_:
33And <2532> through <1223> a window <2376> in <1722> a basket <4553> was I let down <5465> (5681) by <1223> the wall <5038>_, and <2532> escaped <1628> (5627) his <846> hands <5495>_.
