2Co 11:1Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

2Co 11:3But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

2Co 11:4

2Co 11:11Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

2Co 11:12

2Co 11:13

2Co 11:13For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

2Co 11:14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

2Co 11:15

2Co 11:18Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

2Co 11:19

2Co 11:19For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.

2Co 11:20

2Co 11:20For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

2Co 11:22

2Co 11:22Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

2Co 11:23

2Co 11:23Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
