2 Corinthians 11:4-15

New American Standard Bible

⁴ For if ^[a]one comes and preaches ^(A)another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a ^(B)different spirit which you have not received, or a ^(C)different gospel which you have not accepted, this you ^(D)tolerate ^(E)very well! ⁵ For I consider myself ^(F)not in the least inferior to the ^[b]most eminent apostles. ⁶ But even if I am ^(G)unskilled in speech, yet I am not so in ^(H)knowledge; in fact, in every way we have ^(I)made this evident to you in all things.

⁷ Or ^(J)did I commit a sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the ^(K)gospel of God to you ^(L)without charge? ⁸ I robbed other churches by ^(M)taking wages from them to serve you; ⁹ and when I was present with you and was in need, I was ^(N)not a burden to anyone; for when ^(O)the brothers came from ^(P)Macedonia they fully supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from ^(Q)being a burden to you, ^[c]and will continue to do so. ^10 (R)As the truth of Christ is in me, ^(S)this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of ^(T)Achaia. ¹¹ Why? ^(U)Because I do not love you? ^(V)God knows that I do!

¹² But what I am doing I will also continue to do, ^(W)so that I may eliminate the opportunity from those who want an opportunity to be ^[d]regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting. ¹³ For such men are ^(X)false apostles, ^(Y)deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ No wonder, for even ^(Z)Satan disguises himself as an ^(AA)angel of light. ¹⁵ Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, ^(AB)whose end will be according to their deeds.
