1 Would to God|strong="G3785" ye could bear|strong="G0430" with me|strong="G3450" a little|strong="G3397" in|strong="G0877" my folly|strong="G0877": and|strong="G0235" indeed|strong="G2532" bear|strong="G0430" with me|strong="G3450".
2 For|strong="G1063" I am jealous|strong="G2206" over you|strong="G5209" with godly|strong="G2316" jealousy|strong="G2205": for|strong="G1063" I have espoused|strong="G0718" you|strong="G5209" to one|strong="G1520" husband|strong="G0435", that I may present|strong="G3936" you as a chaste|strong="G0053" virgin|strong="G3933" to Christ|strong="G5547".
3 But|strong="G1161" I fear|strong="G5399", lest by any means|strong="G3381", as|strong="G5613" the serpent|strong="G3789" beguiled|strong="G1818" Eve|strong="G2096" through|strong="G1722" his|strong="G0846" subtilty|strong="G3834", so|strong="G3779" your|strong="G5216" minds|strong="G3540" should be corrupted|strong="G5351" from|strong="G0575" the simplicity|strong="G0572" that is|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1519" Christ|strong="G5547".
4 For|strong="G1063" if|strong="G1487" he|strong="G3588" that cometh|strong="G2064" preacheth|strong="G2784" another|strong="G0243" Jesus|strong="G2424", whom|strong="G3739" we have|strong="G2784" not|strong="G3756" preached|strong="G2784", or|strong="G2228" if ye receive|strong="G2983" another|strong="G2087" spirit|strong="G4151", which|strong="G3739" ye have not|strong="G3756" received|strong="G2983", or|strong="G2228" another|strong="G2087" gospel|strong="G2098", which|strong="G3739" ye have|strong="G1209" not|strong="G3756" accepted|strong="G1209", ye might|strong="G0430" well|strong="G2573" bear with|strong="G0430" him.
5 For|strong="G1063" I suppose|strong="G3049" I was|strong="G5302" not|strong="G3367" a whit behind|strong="G5302" the very|strong="G5228" chiefest|strong="G3029" apostles|strong="G0652".
6 But|strong="G1161" though|strong="G1487" I be rude|strong="G2399" in speech|strong="G3056", yet|strong="G0235" not|strong="G3756" in knowledge|strong="G1108"; but|strong="G0235" we have been|strong="G5319" throughly|strong="G1722" made|strong="G3956" manifest|strong="G5319" among|strong="G1519" you|strong="G5209" in|strong="G1722" all things|strong="G3956".
7 Have|strong="G2228" I committed|strong="G4160" an offence|strong="G0266" in abasing|strong="G5013" myself|strong="G1683" that|strong="G2443" ye|strong="G5210" might be exalted|strong="G5312", because|strong="G3754" I have preached|strong="G2097" to you|strong="G5213" the gospel|strong="G2098" of God|strong="G2316" freely|strong="G1432"?
8 I robbed|strong="G4813" other|strong="G0243" churches|strong="G1577", taking|strong="G2983" wages|strong="G3800" of them, to do|strong="G4314" you|strong="G5216" service|strong="G1248".
9 And|strong="G2532" when I was present|strong="G3918" with|strong="G4314" you|strong="G5209", and|strong="G2532" wanted|strong="G5302", I was chargeable to|strong="G2655" no|strong="G3756" man|strong="G3762": for|strong="G1063" that which was lacking|strong="G5303" to me|strong="G3450" the brethren|strong="G0080" which came|strong="G2064" from|strong="G0575" Macedonia|strong="G3109" supplied|strong="G4322": and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" all|strong="G3956" things I have kept|strong="G5083" myself|strong="G1683" from being burdensome|strong="G0004" unto you|strong="G5213", and|strong="G2532" so will I keep|strong="G5083" myself.
10 As|strong="G3754" the truth|strong="G0225" of Christ|strong="G5547" is|strong="G2076" in|strong="G1722" me|strong="G1698", no man|strong="G3756" shall stop|strong="G4972" me|strong="G1691" of this|strong="G3778" boasting|strong="G2746" in|strong="G1722" the regions|strong="G2824" of Achaia|strong="G0882".
11 Wherefore|strong="G1223"? because|strong="G3754" I love|strong="G0025" you|strong="G5209" not|strong="G3756"? God|strong="G2316" knoweth|strong="G1492".
12 But|strong="G1161" what|strong="G3739" I do|strong="G4160", that I will do|strong="G4160", that|strong="G2443" I may cut off|strong="G1581" occasion|strong="G0874" from them|strong="G3588" which desire|strong="G2309" occasion|strong="G0874"; that|strong="G2443" wherein|strong="G3739" they glory|strong="G2744", they may be found|strong="G2147" even|strong="G2532" as|strong="G2531" we|strong="G2249".
13 For|strong="G1063" such|strong="G5108" are false apostles|strong="G5570", deceitful|strong="G1386" workers|strong="G2040", transforming themselves|strong="G3345" into|strong="G1519" the apostles|strong="G0652" of Christ|strong="G5547".
14 And|strong="G2532" no|strong="G3756" marvel|strong="G2298"; for|strong="G1063" Satan|strong="G4567" himself|strong="G0846" is transformed|strong="G3345" into|strong="G1519" an angel|strong="G0032" of light|strong="G5457".
15 Therefore|strong="G3767" it is no|strong="G3756" great thing|strong="G3173" if|strong="G1487" his|strong="G0846" ministers|strong="G1249" also|strong="G2532" be transformed|strong="G3345" as|strong="G5613" the ministers|strong="G1249" of righteousness|strong="G1343"; whose|strong="G3739" end|strong="G5056" shall be|strong="G2071" according to|strong="G2596" their|strong="G0846" works|strong="G2041".
16 I say|strong="G3004" again|strong="G3825", Let|strong="G1380" no|strong="G3361" man|strong="G5100" think|strong="G1380" me|strong="G3165" a fool|strong="G0878"; if|strong="G1487" otherwise|strong="G1161", yet|strong="G2579" as|strong="G5613" a fool|strong="G0878" receive|strong="G1209" me|strong="G3165", that|strong="G2443" I may boast myself|strong="G2744" a little|strong="G3397".
17 That which|strong="G3739" I speak|strong="G2980", I speak|strong="G2980" it not|strong="G3756" after|strong="G2596" the Lord|strong="G2962", but|strong="G0235" as it were|strong="G5613" foolishly|strong="G0877", in|strong="G1722" this|strong="G3778" confidence|strong="G5287" of boasting|strong="G2746".
18 Seeing that|strong="G1893" many|strong="G4183" glory|strong="G2744" after|strong="G2596" the flesh|strong="G4561", I|strong="G2504" will glory|strong="G2744" also|strong="G2504".
19 For|strong="G1063" ye suffer|strong="G0430" fools|strong="G0878" gladly|strong="G2234", seeing ye|strong="G5607" yourselves are wise|strong="G5429".
20 For|strong="G1063" ye suffer|strong="G0430", if|strong="G1487" a man|strong="G5100" bring|strong="G2615" you|strong="G5209" into bondage|strong="G2615", if|strong="G1487" a man|strong="G5100" devour|strong="G2719" you, if|strong="G1487" a man|strong="G5100" take|strong="G2983" of you, if|strong="G1487" a man|strong="G5100" exalt himself|strong="G1869", if|strong="G1487" a man|strong="G5100" smite|strong="G1194" you|strong="G5209" on|strong="G1519" the face|strong="G4383".
21 I speak|strong="G3004" as concerning|strong="G2596" reproach|strong="G0819", as|strong="G5613" though|strong="G3754" we|strong="G2249" had been weak|strong="G0770". Howbeit|strong="G1161" whereinsoever|strong="G3739" any|strong="G5100" is bold|strong="G5111", (I speak|strong="G3004" foolishly|strong="G0877",) I|strong="G2504" am bold|strong="G5111" also|strong="G2504".
22 Are they|strong="G1526" Hebrews|strong="G1445"? so|strong="G2504" am I|strong="G2504". Are they|strong="G1526" Israelites|strong="G2475"? so|strong="G2504" am I|strong="G2504". Are they|strong="G1526" the seed|strong="G4690" of Abraham|strong="G0011"? so|strong="G2504" am I|strong="G2504".
23 Are they|strong="G1526" ministers|strong="G1249" of Christ|strong="G5547"? (I|strong="G1473" speak|strong="G2980" as a fool|strong="G3912") I|strong="G5228" am more|strong="G5228"; in|strong="G1722" labours|strong="G2873" more abundant|strong="G4056", in|strong="G1722" stripes|strong="G4127" above measure|strong="G5234", in|strong="G1722" prisons|strong="G5438" more frequent|strong="G4056", in|strong="G1722" deaths|strong="G2288" oft|strong="G4178".
24 Of|strong="G5259" the Jews|strong="G2453" five times|strong="G3999" received I|strong="G2983" forty|strong="G5062" stripes save|strong="G3844" one|strong="G1520".
25 Thrice|strong="G5151" was I beaten with rods|strong="G4463", once|strong="G0530" was I stoned|strong="G3034", thrice|strong="G5151" I suffered shipwreck|strong="G3489", a night and a day|strong="G3574" I have been|strong="G4160" in|strong="G1722" the deep|strong="G1037";
26 In journeyings|strong="G3597" often|strong="G4178", in perils|strong="G2794" of waters|strong="G4215", in perils|strong="G2794" of robbers|strong="G3027", in perils|strong="G2794" by|strong="G1537" mine own countrymen|strong="G1085", in perils|strong="G2794" by|strong="G1537" the heathen|strong="G1484", in perils|strong="G2794" in|strong="G1722" the city|strong="G4172", in perils|strong="G2794" in|strong="G1722" the wilderness|strong="G2047", in perils|strong="G2794" in|strong="G1722" the sea|strong="G2281", in perils|strong="G2794" among|strong="G1722" false brethren|strong="G5569";
27 In|strong="G1722" weariness|strong="G2873" and|strong="G2532" painfulness|strong="G3449", in|strong="G1722" watchings|strong="G0070" often|strong="G4178", in|strong="G1722" hunger|strong="G3042" and|strong="G2532" thirst|strong="G1373", in|strong="G1722" fastings|strong="G3521" often|strong="G4178", in|strong="G1722" cold|strong="G5592" and|strong="G2532" nakedness|strong="G1132".
28 Beside|strong="G5565" those things that are without|strong="G3924", that which cometh|strong="G1999" upon me|strong="G3450" daily|strong="G2250", the care|strong="G3308" of all|strong="G3956" the churches|strong="G1577".
29 Who|strong="G5101" is weak|strong="G0770", and|strong="G2532" I am|strong="G0770" not|strong="G3756" weak|strong="G0770"? who|strong="G5101" is offended|strong="G4624", and|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" burn|strong="G4448" not|strong="G3756"?
30 If|strong="G1487" I must needs|strong="G1163" glory|strong="G2744", I will glory|strong="G2744" of the things|strong="G3588" which concern mine|strong="G3450" infirmities|strong="G0769".
31 The God|strong="G2316" and|strong="G2532" Father|strong="G3962" of our|strong="G2257" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547", which is|strong="G5607" blessed|strong="G2128" for|strong="G1519" evermore|strong="G0165", knoweth|strong="G1492" that|strong="G3754" I lie|strong="G5574" not|strong="G3756".
32 In|strong="G1722" Damascus|strong="G1154" the governor|strong="G1481" under Aretas|strong="G0702" the king|strong="G0935" kept|strong="G5432" the city|strong="G4172" of the Damascenes|strong="G1153" with a garrison|strong="G5432", desirous|strong="G2309" to apprehend|strong="G4084" me|strong="G3165":
33 And|strong="G2532" through|strong="G1223" a window|strong="G2376" in|strong="G1722" a basket|strong="G4553" was I let down|strong="G5465" by|strong="G1223" the wall|strong="G5038", and|strong="G2532" escaped|strong="G1628" his|strong="G0846" hands|strong="G5495".
