2 Corinthians 11

English Standard Version ESV

1 I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me!

2 For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

3 But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

4 For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.

5 Indeed, I consider that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles.

6 Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not so in knowledge; indeed, in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.

7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached God’s gospel to you free of charge?

8 I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you.

9 And when I was with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.

10 As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.

11 And why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!

12 And what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do.

13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

16 I repeat, let no one think me foolish. But even if you do, accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.

17 What I am saying with this boastful confidence, I say not as the Lord would but as a fool.

18 Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast.

19 For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves!

20 For you bear it if someone makes slaves of you, or devours you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or strikes you in the face.

21 To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast of—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast of that.

22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they offspring of Abraham? So am I.

23 Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one—I am talking like a madman—with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death.

24 Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one.

25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea;

26 on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers;

27 in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.

28 And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches.

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant?

30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.

32 At Damascus, the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of Damascus in order to seize me,

33 but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his hands.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 utinam sustineretis modicum quid insipientiae meae sed et subportate me

2 aemulor enim vos Dei aemulatione despondi enim vos uni viro virginem castam exhibere Christo

3 timeo autem ne sicut serpens Evam seduxit astutia sua ita corrumpantur sensus vestri et excidant a simplicitate quae est in Christo

4 nam si is qui venit alium Christum praedicat quem non praedicavimus aut alium spiritum accipitis quem non accepistis aut aliud evangelium quod non recepistis recte pateremini

5 existimo enim nihil me minus fecisse magnis apostolis

6 et si inperitus sermone sed non scientia in omnibus autem manifestatus sum vobis

7 aut numquid peccatum feci me ipsum humilians ut vos exaltemini quoniam gratis evangelium Dei evangelizavi vobis

8 alias ecclesias expoliavi accipiens stipendium ad ministerium vestrum

9 et cum essem apud vos et egerem nulli onerosus fui nam quod mihi deerat suppleverunt fratres qui venerunt a Macedonia et in omnibus sine onere me vobis servavi et servabo

10 est veritas Christi in me quoniam haec gloria non infringetur in me in regionibus Achaiae

11 quare quia non diligo vos Deus scit

12 quod autem facio et faciam ut amputem occasionem eorum qui volunt occasionem ut in quo gloriantur inveniantur sicut et nos

13 nam eiusmodi pseudoapostoli operarii subdoli transfigurantes se in apostolos Christi

14 et non mirum ipse enim Satanas transfigurat se in angelum lucis

15 non est ergo magnum si ministri eius transfigurentur velut ministri iustitiae quorum finis erit secundum opera ipsorum

16 iterum dico ne quis me putet insipientem alioquin velut insipientem accipite me ut et ego modicum quid glorier

17 quod loquor non loquor secundum Dominum sed quasi in insipientia in hac substantia gloriae

18 quoniam multi gloriantur secundum carnem et ego gloriabor

19 libenter enim suffertis insipientes cum sitis ipsi sapientes

20 sustinetis enim si quis vos in servitutem redigit si quis devorat si quis accipit si quis extollitur si quis in faciem vos caedit

21 secundum ignobilitatem dico quasi nos infirmi fuerimus in quo quis audet in insipientia dico audeo et ego

22 Hebraei sunt et ego Israhelitae sunt et ego semen Abrahae sunt et ego

23 ministri Christi sunt minus sapiens dico plus ego in laboribus plurimis in carceribus abundantius in plagis supra modum in mortibus frequenter

24 a Iudaeis quinquies quadragenas una minus accepi

25 ter virgis caesus sum semel lapidatus sum ter naufragium feci nocte et die in profundo maris fui

26 in itineribus saepe periculis fluminum periculis latronum periculis ex genere periculis ex gentibus periculis in civitate periculis in solitudine periculis in mari periculis in falsis fratribus

27 in labore et aerumna in vigiliis multis in fame et siti in ieiuniis multis in frigore et nuditate

28 praeter illa quae extrinsecus sunt instantia mea cotidiana sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum

29 quis infirmatur et non infirmor quis scandalizatur et ego non uror

30 si gloriari oportet quae infirmitatis meae sunt gloriabor

31 Deus et Pater Domini Iesu scit qui est benedictus in saecula quod non mentior

32 Damasci praepositus gentis Aretae regis custodiebat civitatem Damascenorum ut me conprehenderet

33 et per fenestram in sporta dimissus sum per murum et effugi manus eius
