2 Corinthians 11:1-6
American Standard Version
11 Would that ye could bear with me in a little foolishness: [a]but indeed ye do bear with me. 2 For I am jealous over you with [b]a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your [c]minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different [d]gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with him. 5 For I reckon that I am not a whit behind [e]the very chiefest apostles. 6 But though I be rude in speech, yet am I not in knowledge; [f]nay, in every way have we made this manifest unto you in all things.
