2 Corinthians 11:1-3

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

11 I wish you would bear with me while I indulge in a little [so-called] foolishness. Do bear with me!

² For I am ^[a]zealous for you with a godly eagerness and a divine jealousy, for I have betrothed you to one Husband, to present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.^(A)

³ But [now] I am fearful, lest that even as the serpent beguiled Eve by his cunning, so your minds may be corrupted and seduced from wholehearted and sincere and pure devotion to Christ.^(B)
