2nd-Corinthians 11:1

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

Would that ye could bear with me in a little foolishness: but indeed ye do bear with me.

Put up with me if I am a little foolish: but, truly, you do put up with me.

I wish you could have borne with a little foolish boasting on my part. Nay, do bear with me.

2nd-Corinthians 11:2

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you [as] a pure virgin to Christ.

For I have a very great care for you: because you have been married by me to one husband, and it is my desire to give you completely holy to Christ.

I am jealous over you with God's own jealousy. For I have betrothed you to Christ to present you to Him like a faithful bride to her one husband.

2nd-Corinthians 11:3

But 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.

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ.

But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ.

But I am afraid that, as the serpent in his craftiness deceived Eve, so your minds may be led astray from their single-heartedness and their fidelity to Christ.

2nd-Corinthians 11:4

For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or [if] ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with [him].

For if anyone comes preaching another Jesus from the one whose preachers we are, or if you have got a different spirit, or a different sort of good news from those which came to you, how well you put up with these things.

If indeed some visitor is proclaiming among you another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the One you have already received or a Good News different from that which you have already welcomed, your toleration is admirable!

2nd-Corinthians 11:5

For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.

For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.

For in my opinion, I am in no way less than the most important of the Apostles.

Why, I reckon myself in no respect inferior to those superlatively great Apostles.

2nd-Corinthians 11:6

But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.

But though [I be] rude in speech, yet [am I] not in knowledge; nay, in every way have we made [this] manifest unto you in all things.

But though I am rough in my way of talking, I am not so in knowledge, as we have made clear to all by our acts among you.

And if in the matter of speech I am no orator, yet in knowledge I am not deficient. Nay, we have in every way made that fully evident to you.

2nd-Corinthians 11:7

Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

Or did I commit a sin in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God for nought?

Or did I do wrong in making myself low so that you might be lifted up, because I gave you the good news of God without reward?

Is it a sin that I abased myself in order for you to be exalted, in that I proclaimed God's Good News to you without fee or reward?

2nd-Corinthians 11:8

I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.

I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them] that I might minister unto you;

I took money from other churches as payment for my work, so that I might be your servant;

Other Churches I robbed, receiving pay from them in order to do you service.

2nd-Corinthians 11:9

And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and [so] will I keep [myself].

And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so.

And when I was with you and my resources failed, there was no one to whom I became a burden for the brethren when they came from Macedonia fully supplied my wants and I kept myself from being in the least a burden to you, and will do so still.

2nd-Corinthians 11:10

As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this glorying in the regions of Achaia.

As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.

Christ knows that it is true when I say that I will not be stopped from boasting of this anywhere in Greece.

2nd-Corinthians 11:11

Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

Why? because I have no love for you? let God be judge.

And why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do.

2nd-Corinthians 11:12

But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

But what I do, that I will go on doing, so that I may give no chance to those who are looking for one; so that, in the cause of their pride, they may be seen to be the same as we are.

But I will persist in the same line of conduct in order to cut the ground from under the feet of those who desire an opportunity of getting themselves recognized as being on a level with us in the matters about which they boast.

2nd-Corinthians 11:13

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ.

For such men are false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles of Christ.

For men of this stamp are sham apostles, dishonest workmen, assuming the garb of Apostles of Christ.

2nd-Corinthians 11:14

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light.

And it is no wonder; for even Satan himself is able to take the form of an angel of light.

And no wonder. Satan, their master, can disguise himself as an angel of light.

2nd-Corinthians 11:15

Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.

So it is no great thing if his servants make themselves seem to be servants of righteousness; whose end will be the reward of their works.

It is therefore no great thing for his servants also to disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be in accordance with their actions.

2nd-Corinthians 11:16

I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

I say again, let no man think me foolish; but if [ye do], yet as foolish receive me, that I also may glory a little.

I say again, Let me not seem foolish to anyone; but if I do, put up with me as such, so that I may take a little glory to myself.

To return to what I was saying. Let no one suppose that I am foolish. Or if you must, at any rate make allowance for me as being foolish, in order that I, as well as they, may boast a little.

2nd-Corinthians 11:17

That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying.

What I am now saying is not by the order of the Lord, but as a foolish person, taking credit to myself, as it seems.

What I am now saying, I do not say by the Lord's command, but as a fool in his folly might, in this reckless boasting.

2nd-Corinthians 11:18

Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

Seeing that there are those who take credit to themselves after the flesh, I will do the same.

Since many boast for merely human reasons, I too will boast.

2nd-Corinthians 11:19

For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.

For ye bear with the foolish gladly, being wise [yourselves].

For you put up with the foolish gladly, being wise yourselves.

Wise as you yourselves are, you find pleasure in tolerating fools.

2nd-Corinthians 11:20

For 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.

For ye bear with a man, if he bringeth you into bondage, if he devoureth you, if he taketh you [captive], if he exalteth himself, if he smiteth you on the face.

You put up with a man if he makes servants of you, if he makes profit out of you, if he makes you prisoners, if he puts himself in a high place, if he gives you blows on the face.

For you tolerate it, if any one enslaves you, lives at your expense, makes off with your property, gives himself airs, or strikes you on the face.

2nd-Corinthians 11:21

I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet whereinsoever any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

I say this by way of shaming ourselves, as if we had been feeble. But if anyone puts himself forward (I am talking like a foolish person), I will do the same.

I use the language of self-disparagement, as though I were admitting our own feebleness. Yet for whatever reason any one is `courageous' I speak in mere folly I also am courageous.

2nd-Corinthians 11:22

Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

2nd-Corinthians 11:23

Are 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.

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I more; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths oft.

Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking foolishly) I am more so; I have had more experience of hard work, of prisons, of blows more than measure, of death.

Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as if I were out of my mind.) Much more am I His servant; serving Him more thoroughly than they by my labours, and more thoroughly also by my imprisonments, by excessively cruel floggings, and with risk of life many a time.

Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led astray into sin, and I am not aflame with indignation?

2nd-Corinthians 11:30

If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
