2 Corinthians 11 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

2Co 11:1I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
2Co 11:2For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Messiah.
2Co 11:3But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Havah in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah.
2Co 11:4For if he who comes preaches another Yeshua, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different Good News, which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.
2Co 11:5For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
2Co 11:6But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
2Co 11:7Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God's Good News free of charge?
2Co 11:8I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
2Co 11:9When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn't a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
2Co 11:10As the truth of Messiah is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
2Co 11:11Why? Because I don't love you? God knows.
2Co 11:12But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we.
2Co 11:13For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Messiah's apostles.
2Co 11:14And no wonder, for even Hasatan masquerades as an angel of light.
2Co 11:15It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
2Co 11:16I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
2Co 11:17That which I speak, I don't speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
2Co 11:18Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
2Co 11:19For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
2Co 11:20For you bear with a man, if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, if he strikes you on the face.
2Co 11:21I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet however any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
2Co 11:22Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Yisra'elites? So am I. Are they the seed of Avraham? So am I.
2Co 11:23Are they servants of Messiah? (I speak as one beside himself) I am more so; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.
2Co 11:24Five times from the Yehudim I received forty stripes minus one.
2Co 11:25Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.
2Co 11:26I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Goyim, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;
2Co 11:27in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
2Co 11:28Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily, anxiety for all the assemblies.
2Co 11:29Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don't burn with indignation?
2Co 11:30If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
2Co 11:31The God and Father of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, he who is blessed forevermore, knows that I don't lie.
2Co 11:32In Dammesek the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes desiring to arrest me.
