⁴For if a person comes and preaches another Jesus,^af whom we did not preach, or you receive a different spirit,^ag which you had not received, or a different gospel,^ah which you had not accepted, you put up with it splendidly!

⁵Now I consider myself in no way inferior to those “super-apostles.”^ai ⁶Even if I am untrained in public speaking,^a I am certainly not untrained in knowledge.^b Indeed, we have in every way made that clear to you in everything.
