1 Would to God 3785 ye could bear 430 with me 3450 a little 3397 in my folly 877: and 2532 indeed 235 bear 430 with me 3450.
2 For 1063 I am jealous 2206 over you 5209 with godly 2316 jealousy 2205: for 1063 I have espoused 718 you 5209 to one 1520 husband 435, that I may present 3936 you as a chaste 53 virgin 3933 to Christ 5547.
3 But 1161 I fear 5399, lest 3381 by any means 4458, as 5613 the serpent 3789 beguiled 1818 Eve 2096 through 1722 his 848 subtilty 3834, so 3779 your 5216 minds 3540 should be corrupted 5351 from 575 the simplicity 572 that is in 1519 Christ 5547.
4 For 1063 if 1487 3303 he that cometh 2064 preacheth 2784 another 243 Jesus 2424, whom 3739 we have 2784 0 not 3756 preached 2784, or 2228 if ye receive 2983 another 2087 spirit 4151, which 3739 ye have 2983 0 not 3756 received 2983, or 2228 another 2087 gospel 2098, which 3739 ye have 1209 0 not 3756 accepted 1209, ye might 430 0 well 2573 bear with 430 him.
5 For 1063 I suppose 3049 I was 5302 0 not a whit 3367 behind 5302 the very 5228 chiefest 3029 apostles 652.
6 But 1161 2532 though 1499 I be rude 2399 in speech 3056, yet 235 not 3756 in knowledge 1108; but 235 we have been throughly 1722 3956 made manifest 5319 among 1519 you 5209 in 1722 all things 3956.
7 2228 Have I committed 4160 an offence 266 in abasing 5013 myself 1683 that 2443 ye 5210 might be exalted 5312, because 3754 I have preached 2097 to you 5213 the gospel 2098 of God 2316 freely 1432?
8 I robbed 4813 other 243 churches 1577, taking 2983 wages 3800 of them, to 4314 do 1248 0 you 5216 service 1248.
9 And 2532 when I was present 3918 with 4314 you 5209, and 2532 wanted 5302, I was 3756 chargeable 2655 to no man 3762: for 1063 that which was lacking 5303 to me 3450 the brethren 80 which came 2064 from 575 Macedonia 3109 supplied 4322: and 2532 in 1722 all 3956 things I have kept 5083 myself 1683 from being burdensome 4 unto you 5213, and 2532 so will I keep 5083 myself.
10 As the truth 225 of Christ 5547 is 2076 in 1722 me 1698, 3754 no man 3756 shall stop 4972 5420 me 1519 1691 of this 3778 boasting 2746 in 1722 the regions 2824 of Achaia 882.
11 Wherefore 1302? because 3754 I love 25 you 5209 not 3756? God 2316 knoweth 1492.
12 But 1161 what 3739 I do 4160, that 2532 I will do 4160, that 2443 I may cut off 1581 occasion 874 from them which desire 2309 occasion 874; that 2443 wherein 1722 3739 they glory 2744, they may be found 2147 even 2532 as 2531 we 2249.
13 For 1063 such 5108 are false apostles 5570, deceitful 1386 workers 2040, transforming themselves 3345 into 1519 the apostles 652 of Christ 5547.
14 And 2532 no 3756 marvel 2298; for 1063 Satan 4567 himself 846 is transformed 3345 into 1519 an angel 32 of light 5457.
15 Therefore 3767 it is no 3756 great thing 3173 if 1499 his 846 ministers 1249 also 2532 be transformed 3345 as 5613 the ministers 1249 of righteousness 1343; whose 3739 end 5056 shall be 2071 according 2596 to their 846 works 2041.
16 I say 3004 again 3825, Let 1380 0 no 3361 man 5100 think 1380 me 1511 3165 a fool 878; if otherwise 1490, yet 2579 as 5613 a fool 878 receive 1209 me 3165, that 2443 I 2504 may boast myself 2744 a 5100 little 3397.
17 That which 3739 I speak 2980, I speak 2980 it not 3756 after 2596 the Lord 2962, but 235 as 5613 it were foolishly 1722 877, in 1722 this 5026 confidence 5287 of boasting 2746.
18 Seeing that 1893 many 4183 glory 2744 after 2596 the flesh 4561, I will glory 2744 also 2504.
19 For 1063 ye suffer 430 fools 878 gladly 2234, seeing ye yourselves are 5607 wise 5429.
20 For 1063 ye suffer 430, if a man 1536 bring 2615 0 you 5209 into bondage 2615, if a man 1536 devour 2719 you, if a man 1536 take 2983 of you, if a man 1536 exalt himself 1869, if a man 1536 smite 1194 you 5209 on 1519 the face 4383.
21 I speak 3004 as concerning 2596 reproach 819, as 5613 though 3754 we 2249 had been weak 770. Howbeit 1161 whereinsoever 1722 3739 302 any 5100 is bold 5111, (I speak 3004 foolishly 1722 877,) I am bold 5111 also 2504.
22 Are they 1526 Hebrews 1445? so am I 2504. Are they 1526 Israelites 2475? so am I 2504. Are they 1526 the seed 4690 of Abraham 11? so am I 2504.
23 Are they 1526 ministers 1249 of Christ 5547? (I speak 2980 as a fool 3912) I 1473 am more 5228; in 1722 labours 2873 more abundant 4056, in 1722 stripes 4127 above measure 5234, in 1722 prisons 5438 more frequent 4056, in 1722 deaths 2288 oft 4178.
24 Of 5259 the Jews 2453 five times 3999 received I 2983 forty 5062 stripes save 3844 one 3391.
25 Thrice 5151 was I beaten with rods 4463, once 530 was I stoned 3034, thrice 5151 I suffered shipwreck 3489, a night and a day 3574 I have been 4160 in 1722 the deep 1037;
26 In journeyings 3597 often 4178, in perils 2794 of waters 4215, in perils 2794 of robbers 3027, in perils 2794 by 1537 mine own countrymen 1085, in perils 2794 by 1537 the heathen 1484, in perils 2794 in 1722 the city 4172, in perils 2794 in 1722 the wilderness 2047, in perils 2794 in 1722 the sea 2281, in perils 2794 among 1722 false brethren 5569;
27 In 1722 weariness 2873 and 2532 painfulness 3449, in 1722 watchings 70 often 4178, in 1722 hunger 3042 and 2532 thirst 1373, in 1722 fastings 3521 often 4178, in 1722 cold 5592 and 2532 nakedness 1132.
28 Beside 5565 those things that are without 3924, that which 3588 cometh upon 1999 me 3450 daily 2250, 2596 the care 3308 of all 3956 the churches 1577.
29 Who 5101 is weak 770, and 2532 I am 770 0 not 3756 weak 770? who 5101 is offended 4624, and 2532 I 1473 burn 4448 not 3756?
30 If 1487 I must needs 1163 glory 2744, I will glory 2744 of the things which concern 3588 mine 3450 infirmities 769.
31 The God 2316 and 2532 Father 3962 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, which 3588 is 5607 blessed 2128 for 1519 evermore 165, knoweth 1492 that I 3754 lie 5574 not 3756.
32 In 1722 Damascus 1154 the governor 1481 under Aretas 702 the king 935 kept 5432 0 the city 4172 of the Damascenes 1153 with a garrison 5432, desirous 2309 to apprehend 4084 me 3165:
33 And 2532 through 1223 a window 2376 in 1722 a basket 4553 was I let down 5465 by 1223 the wall 5038, and 2532 escaped 1628 his 846 hands 5495.
