Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
11 I want to say something a little bit foolish. But please listen to me!
2 I love you as God loves you. I see you as a woman who has not been married and I am giving you to be the wife of a husband. That husband is Christ.
3 But the snake fooled Eve by his trick. And I am afraid that your minds will be drawn away from a clean, pure love of Christ.
4 You listen to a new man when he comes to tell you about a different Jesus, which is not the one we told you about. And when you receive a spirit and a message which are not the ones you had first, then you listen too much.
5 But I really do not think that the chief apostles are any better than I am!
6 Maybe I am not a good talker, but I surely know what I am talking about! Yes, we made this plain to you in every way in all things.
