1
O that ye were bearing with me a little of the folly, but ye also do bear with me:
2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Messiah.

3 But I am afraid that by any means, as the serpent deceived Havah in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah.

4 For if he who comes preaches another Yeshua, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different Good News, which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.
4
for if, indeed, he who is coming doth preach another Jesus whom we did not preach, or another Spirit ye receive which ye did not receive, or other good news which ye did not accept -- well were ye bearing [it],

5
for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,
6 But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
6
and even if unlearned in word -- yet not in knowledge, but in every thing we were made manifest in all things to you.
7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God's Good News for nothing?
7
The sin did I do -- myself humbling that ye might be exalted, because freely the good news of God I did proclaim to you?
8 I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
8
other assemblies I did rob, having taken wages, for your ministration;
9 When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn't a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
9
and being present with you, and having been in want, I was chargeable to no one, for my lack did the brethren supply -- having come from Macedonia -- and in everything burdenless to you I did keep myself, and will keep.
10 As the truth of Messiah is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
10

12
and what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also;
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Messiah's apostles.
13
for those such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,
14 And no wonder, for even Hasatan masquerades as an angel of light.
14
and no wonder -- for even the Adversary doth transform himself into a messenger of light;
15 It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
15
no great thing, then, if also his ministrants do transform themselves as ministrants of righteousness -- whose end shall be according to their works.
16 I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
16
Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if otherwise, even as a fool receive me, that I also a little may boast.
17 That which I speak, I don't speak after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
17
That which I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting;
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
18
since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast:
19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
19
for gladly do ye bear with the fools -- being wise,
20 For you bear with a man, if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, if he strikes you on the face.
20
for ye bear, if any one is bringing you under bondage, if any one doth devour, if any one doth take away, if any one doth exalt himself, if any one on the face doth smite you;
21 I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet however any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
21
in reference to dishonour I speak, how that we were weak, and in whatever any one is bold -- in foolishness I say [it] -- I also am bold.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Yisra'elites? So am I. Are they the seed of Avraham? So am I.

26 I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Goyim, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;
26
journeyings many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from kindred, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brethren;
27 in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
27
in laboriousness and painfulness, in watchings many times, in hunger and thirst, in fastings many times, in cold and nakedness;

30
if to boast it behoveth [me], of the things of my infirmity I will boast;
