2 Corinthians 11

¹Woulde to God, yee coulde suffer a litle my foolishnes, and in deede, ye suffer me.

²For I am ielous ouer you, with godly ielousie: for I haue prepared you for one husband, to present you as a pure virgine to Christ:

³But I feare least as the serpent beguiled Eue through his subtiltie, so your mindes shoulde be corrupt from the simplicitie that is in Christ.

⁴For if he that commeth, preacheth another Iesus whome we haue not preached: or if yee receiue another spirite whome ye haue not receiued: either another Gospell, which yee haue not receiued, ye might well haue suffered him.

⁵Verely I suppose that I was not inferior to the very chiefe Apostles.

⁶And though I be rude in speaking, yet I am not so in knowledge, but among you wee haue beene made manifest to the vttermost, in all things.

⁷Haue I committed an offence, because I abased my selfe, that ye might be exalted, and because I preached to you ye Gospell of God freely?

⁸I robbed other Churches, and tooke wages of them to doe you seruice.

⁹And when I was present with you, and had neede, I was not slouthfull to the hinderance of any man: for that which was lacking vnto me, the brethre which came from Macedonia, supplied, and in all thinges I kept and will keepe my selfe, that I should not be grieuous to you.

¹⁰The trueth of Christ is in me, that this reioycing shall not be shut vp against me in the regions of Achaia.

¹¹Wherefore? because I loue you not? God knoweth.
