11 I have become (A)foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, since I was (B)in no respect inferior to the [a]most eminent apostles, even though (C)I am a nobody. 12 The (D)distinguishing marks [b]of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by [c]signs, wonders, and [d]miracles. 13 For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except that (E)I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me (F)this wrong!

11 I am become foolish: ye compelled me; for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing was I behind [a]the very chiefest apostles, though I am nothing. 12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all [b]patience, by signs and wonders and [c]mighty works. 13 For what is there wherein ye were made inferior to the rest of the churches, except it be that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this wrong.
