11 O that ophelon you would put up with anechōmai me egō in a tis little mikros foolishness aphrosynē! · kai Do put up with anechōmai me egō! ² For gar I am jealous zēloō for you hymeis with zēlos a jealousy zēlos God theos inspires, for gar I have promised harmozō you hymeis in marriage to a single heis husband anēr, to ho Christ Christos, that I might present paristēmi you to him as an undefiled hagnos virgin parthenos. ³ But de I am afraid phobeomai, however mē pōs, that just as hōs the ho serpent ophis deceived exapataō Eve heua by en · ho his autos craftiness panourgia, so your hymeis minds noēma may be led astray phtheirō · ho from apo the ho simplicity haplotēs and kai · ho purity hagnotēs that ho is in eis · ho Christ Christos. ⁴ For gar if ei one ho comes erchomai and proclaims kēryssō a different allos Jesus Iēsous whom hos we did not ou proclaim kēryssō, or ē if you welcome lambanō a different heteros spirit pneuma which hos you did not ou welcome lambanō, or ē a different heteros gospel euangelion which hos you did not ou welcome dechomai, you put up with anechōmai it easily kalōs. ⁵ For gar I consider logizomai myself to be in no way mēdeis inferior hystereō to those ho “ super-apostles hyperlian apostolos.” ⁶ But de even kai if ei I am an amateur idiōtēs in ho speaking logos, I am certainly not alla in ho knowledge gnōsis. Rather alla, in en every pas way we have made this plain phaneroō to eis you hymeis as to en all pas. ⁷ Or ē did I commit poieō a sin hamartia in humbling tapeinoō myself emautou so that hina you hymeis could be exalted hypsoō, because hoti I proclaimed euangelizō the ho gospel euangelion of ho God theos to you hymeis without a charge dōrean? ⁸ I robbed sylaō other allos churches ekklēsia, taking lambanō support opsōnion from them to carry out pros my ho service diakonia to you hymeis. ⁹ And kai when I was present pareimi with pros you hymeis and kai in need hystereō, I did not ou burden katanarkaō anyone outheis, for gar when erchomai the ho brothers adelphos came erchomai from apo Macedonia Makedonia they supplied prosanaplēroō · ho my egō need hysterēma. · kai I kept tēreō myself emautou from tēreō being a burden abarēs to you hymeis in en any pas way , and kai will continue to do so tēreō. ¹⁰ As the truth alētheia of Christ Christos is eimi in en me egō, · ho this houtos boasting kauchēsis of eis mine egō will not ou be put to silence phrassō in en the ho districts klima of ho Achaia Achaia. ¹¹ Why dia is that tis? Is it because hoti I do not ou love agapaō you hymeis? · ho God theos knows oida I do.

¹² And de what hos I am doing poieō · kai I will continue to do poieō, so hina as to remove ekkoptō any ho opportunity aphormē from ho those desiring thelō an opportunity aphormē to hina be regarded heuriskō, in the things in en which hos they boast kauchaomai, to be just as kathōs · kai we hēmeis are. ¹³ · ho For gar such men toioutos are false apostles pseudapostolos, deceitful dolios workers ergatēs, disguising metaschēmatizō themselves as eis apostles apostolos of Christ Christos. ¹⁴ And kai no ou wonder thauma! For gar Satan Satanas himself autos · ho disguises metaschēmatizō himself as eis an angel angelos of light phōs. ¹⁵ So oun it is no ou great megas surprise if ei his autos servants diakonos, too kai, · ho disguise metaschēmatizō themselves as hōs servants diakonos of righteousness dikaiosynē. Their hos · ho end telos will be eimi according kata to · ho their autos works ergon.

¹⁶ Again palin I say legō, let dokeō no mē one tis think dokeō me egō foolish aphrōn. But de even ge if ei you do, then at least kan accept dechomai me egō as hōs a fool aphrōn, so that hina I too kagō may boast kauchaomai a tis little mikros. ¹⁷ What hos I am saying laleō, I am laleō not ou saying laleō according kata to the Lord kyrios, but alla as hōs in en foolishness aphrosynē, in en this houtos · ho confidence hypostasis of ho boasting kauchēsis. ¹⁸ Since epei there are many polys who are boasting kauchaomai according kata to the flesh sarx, I too kagō will boast kauchaomai. ¹⁹ For gar gladly hēdeōs you put up with anechōmai · ho fools aphrōn, since you are eimi so wise phronimos! ²⁰ For gar you put up with anechōmai it if ei anyone tis enslaves katadouloō you hymeis, if ei anyone tis exploits katesthiō you, if ei anyone tis takes advantage lambanō of you, if ei anyone tis puts on airs epairō, if ei anyone tis strikes derō you hymeis in eis the face prosōpon. ²¹ I say legō this to kata my shame atimia, that hoti in this we hēmeis have been weak astheneō. But de as to en whatever hos anyone tis else dares tolmaō to boast about— I am talking legō like en a fool aphrosynē— I also kagō dare tolmaō to boast .

¹⁶ “ And de when hotan you fast nēsteuō, do not mē put ginomai on a gloomy skythrōpos face as hōs the ho hypocrites hypokritēs do, for gar they disfigure aphanizō · ho their autos faces prosōpon so hopōs that they will appear phainō to ho others anthrōpos as fasting nēsteuō; I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, they have apechō · ho their autos reward misthos. ¹⁷ But de when you sy fast nēsteuō, anoint aleiphō your sy · ho head kephalē with oil and kai wash niptō · ho your sy face prosōpon, ¹⁸ so hopōs that you will not mē appear phainō to ho others anthrōpos as fasting nēsteuō, but alla by ho your sy Father patēr who ho is in en · ho secret kryphaios; and kai · ho your sy Father patēr who ho sees blepō in en · ho secret kryphaios will reward apodidōmi you sy.

¹⁹ “ Do not mē lay thēsaurizō up for yourselves hymeis treasures thēsauros on epi · ho earth gē, where hopou moth sēs and kai rust brōsis destroy aphanizō, and kai where hopou thieves kleptēs break dioryssō in and kai steal kleptō; ²⁰ but de lay thēsaurizō up for yourselves hymeis treasures thēsauros in en heaven ouranos, where hopou neither oute moth sēs nor oute rust brōsis destroys aphanizō, and kai where hopou thieves kleptēs do not ou break dioryssō in and oude steal kleptō. ²¹ For gar where hopou your sy treasure thēsauros is eimi, · ho there ekei your sy heart kardia will be eimi also kai. · ho

²² “ The ho lamp lychnos of the ho body sōma is eimi the ho eye ophthalmos. If ean then oun your sy eye ophthalmos is eimi · ho healthy haplous, your sy whole holos · ho body sōma will be eimi filled with light phōteinos; ²³ but de if ean · ho your sy eye ophthalmos is eimi evil ponēros, your sy whole holos · ho body sōma will be eimi filled with darkness skoteinos. If ei then oun the ho light phōs that ho is in en you sy is eimi darkness skotos, how great posos is that ho darkness skotos!
