2 Corinthians 11:1-6

Christian Standard Bible

Paul and the False Apostles

11 I wish you would put up with a little foolishness^(A) from me. Yes, do put up with me!^{[a] 2} For I am jealous^(B) for you with a godly jealousy,^(C) because I have promised you in marriage to one husband—to present a pure^(D) virgin to Christ. ³ But I fear that, as the serpent^(E) deceived^(F) Eve^(G) by his cunning, your minds may be seduced from a sincere and pure^[b] devotion to Christ.^{(H) 4} For if a person comes and preaches another Jesus,^(I) whom we did not preach, or you receive a different spirit,^(J) which you had not received, or a different gospel,^(K) which you had not accepted, you put up with it splendidly!

⁵ Now I consider myself in no way inferior to those “super-apostles.”^{(L) 6} Even if I am untrained in public speaking,^(M) I am certainly not untrained in knowledge.^(N) Indeed, we have in every way made that clear to you in everything.
