2 Corinthians 11:1-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
I Am Jealous For You, For I Fear That You Are Being Corrupted By False Messengers
11 O-that you would bear-with me as to a little bit[a] of foolishness— but indeed, keep-bearing-with[b] me! 2 For I am jealous-for[c] you with a jealousy[d] of [e] God. For I betrothed[f] you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ. 3 But I am fearing that as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds[g] should somehow be corrupted[h] from sincerity[i] and purity for[j] Christ. 4 For indeed if the one coming proclaims another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or you receive a different spirit which you did not receive, or a different good-news which you did not accept— you bear-with him nicely!
For I Come Short of No Other Apostle, Especially In Knowledge
5 For I think that I have in no way come-short-of [k] the superlative[l] apostles. 6 But even though I am untrained in speech, nevertheless I am not in knowledge. But in every way we made this evident in all things to you.
