2 Corinthians 11:1–5

PAUL AND THE FALSE APOSTLES

11 I wish you would put up with a little foolishnessx from me. Yes, do put up with me!C 2 For I am jealousy for you with a godly jealousy,z because I have promised you in marriage to one husband—to present a pureaa virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear that, as the serpentab deceivedac Evead by his cunning, your minds may be seduced from a sincere and pureD devotion to Christ.ae 4 For 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!

5 Now I consider myself in no way inferior to those “super-apostles.”ai
