2 Corinthians 11:1-6

Modern English Version

Paul and the False Apostles

11 I would to God you could bear with me a little in my folly. Indeed, bear with me. ² For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy. For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. ³ But I fear that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve through his trickery, so your minds might be led astray from the simplicity that is in Christ. ⁴ For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if you receive another spirit, which you have not received, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might submit to it readily enough.

⁵ For I think I am not in any way inferior to the most eminent of the apostles. ⁶ Even though I am unpolished in speech, yet I am not in knowledge. All things about us have been thoroughly revealed to you.
