1: I wishG3785 you were bearing withG0430 meG1473 littleG3398 aG5100 in foolishness,G0877 butG0235 indeedG2532 you do bear withG0430 me.G1473

2: I am jealous as toG2206 forG1063 youG4771 of GodG2316 with [the] jealousy;G2205 I have betrothedG0718 forG1063 youG4771 to oneG1520 husband,G0435 a virginG3933 pureG0053 to presentG3936 -G3588 to Christ.G5547

3: I am afraidG5399 however,G1161 lestG3361 by any meansG4459 asG5613 theG3588 serpentG3789 deceivedG1818 EveG2096 inG1722 theG3588 craftinessG3834 of him,G0846 might be corruptedG5351 theG3588 mindsG3540 of youG4771 fromG0575 theG3588 simplicityG0572 andG2532 theG3588 purityG0054 -G3588 inG1519 -G3588 Christ.G5547

4: IfG1487 indeedG3303 forG1063 the [one]G3588 coming,G2064 anotherG0243 JesusG2424 proclaims,G2784 whomG3739 notG3756 we did proclaim,G2784 orG2228 a spiritG4151 differentG2087 you receiveG2983 whichG3739 notG3756 you did receive,G2983 orG2228 glad tidingsG2098 differentG2087 whichG3739 notG3756 you did accept,G1209 wellG2573 are you bearing with [it].G0430

5: I reckonG3049 forG1063 in nothingG3367 to have been inferiorG5302 to thoseG3588 most eminentG5228 apostles.G0652

6: IfG1487 however,G1161 evenG2532 unpolishedG2399 -G3588 in speech [I am],G3056 yetG0235 notG3756 -G3588 in knowledge;G1108 butG0235 inG1722 every [way],G3956 we have been made manifestG5319 inG1722 all thingsG3956 toG1519 you.G4771

7: OrG2228 a sinG0266 did I commit,G4160 myselfG1683 humblingG5013 so thatG2443 youG4771 might be exalted,G5312 becauseG3754 freelyG1432 theG3588 -G3588 of GodG2316 gospelG2098 I preachedG2097 to you?G4771

8: OtherG0243 churchesG1577 I robbed,G4813 having receivedG2983 supportG3800 forG4314 theG3588 toward youG4771 service.G1248

9: AndG2532 being presentG3918 withG4314 youG4771 andG2532 having been in need,G5302 notG3756 I did burdenG2655 no one;G3762 -G3588 forG1063 the needG5303 of meG1473 completely filled upG4322 theG3588 brothersG0080 having comeG2064 fromG0575 Macedonia,G3109 andG2532 inG1722 everythingG3956 unburdensomeG0004 myselfG1683 to youG4771 I kept,G5083 andG2532 will keep.G5083

10: IsG1510 [the] truthG0225 of ChristG5547 inG1722 me,G1473 thatG3754 theG3588 boastingG2746 thisG3778 notG3756 will be sealed upG5420 ofG1519 mineG1473 inG1722 theG3588 regionsG2824 -G3588 of Achaia.G0882

11: Because ofG1223 why?G5101 BecauseG3754 notG3756 I do loveG0025 you?G4771 -G3588 GodG2316 knows [I do]!G1492

12: WhatG3739 howeverG1161 I do,G4160 alsoG2532 I will do,G4160 so thatG2443 I might cut offG1581 theG3588 opportunityG0874 of thoseG3588 desiringG2309 an opportunityG0874 thatG2443 inG1722 whatG3739 they are boasting,G2744 they might be foundG2147 asG2531 alsoG2532 we.G1473

13: -G3588 ForG1063 such [are]G5108 false apostles,G5570 workersG2040 deceitful,G1386 disguising themselvesG3345 asG1519 apostlesG0652 of Christ.G5547

14: AndG2532 noG3756 wonder;G2295 himselfG0846 forG1063 -G3588 SatanG4567 masqueradesG3345 asG1519 an angelG0032 of light.G5457

15: [It is] notG3756 surprisingG3173 therefore,G3767 ifG1487 alsoG2532 theG3588 servantsG1249 of himG0846 masqueradeG3345 asG5613 servantsG1249 of righteousness,G1343 whoseG3739 -G3588 endG5056 will beG1510 according toG2596 theG3588 deedsG2041 of them.G0846

16: AgainG3825 I say,G3004 noG3361 oneG5100 meG1473 should thinkG1380 a foolG0878 to be;G1510 ifG1487 howeverG1161 otherwiseG1490 evenG2579 asG5613 a foolG0878 receiveG1209 me,G1473 thatG2443 I alsoG2504 littleG3398 aG5100 may boast.G2744

17: WhatG3739 I am saying,G2980 notG3756 according toG2596 [the] LordG2962 am I saying,G2980 butG0235 asG5613 inG1722 foolishness,G0877 inG1722 thisG3778 theG3588 confidenceG5287 -G3588 of boasting.G2746

18: SinceG1893 manyG4183 boastG2744 according toG2596 theG3588 flesh,G4561 I alsoG2504 will boast.G2744

19: GladlyG2234 forG1063 you bear withG0430 -G3588 fools,G0878 wiseG5429 being!G1510

20: You bear [it]G0430 forG1063 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 youG4771 enslaves,G2615 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 devours [you],G2719 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 takes [from you],G2983 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 exalts himself,G1869 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 inG1519 [the] faceG4383 of youG4771 strikes [you].G1194

21: As toG2596 dishonorG0819 I speak,G3004 asG5613 thatG3754 weG1473 have been weak!G0770 InG1722 whateverG3739 howeverG1161 -G0302 anyoneG5100 might be daring—G5111 inG1722 foolishnessG0877 I speak—G3004 am daringG5111 I also.G2504

22: HebrewsG1445 are they?G1510 I also.G2504 IsraelitesG2475 are they?G1510 I also.G2504 DescendantsG4690 of AbrahamG0011 are they?G1510 I also.G2504

23: ServantsG1249 of ChristG5547 are they?G1510 As being beside myselfG3912 I speakG2980 above [measure]:G5228 I [too],G1473 inG1722 laborsG2873 more abundantly,G4057 inG1722 imprisonmentsG5438 more abundantly,G4057 inG1722 beatingsG4127 above measure,G5234 inG1722 deathsG2288 often.G4178

24: FromG5259 [the] JewsG2453 five timesG3999 forty [lashes]G5062 minusG3844 oneG1520 I received.G2983

25: Three timesG5151 I was beaten with rods,G4463 onceG0530 I was stoned,G3034 three timesG5151 I was shipwrecked,G3489 a night and a dayG3574 inG1722 theG3588 deep [sea]G1037 I have passed;G4160

26: in journeyingsG3597 often,G4178 in perilsG2794 of rivers,G4215 in perilsG2794 of robbers;G3027 in perilsG2794 from [my own]G1537 race,G1085 in perilsG2794 fromG1537 [the] Gentiles;G1484 in perilsG2794 inG1722 [the] city,G4172 in perilsG2794 inG1722 [the] wilderness;G2047 in perilsG2794 onG1722 [the] sea,G2281 in perilsG2794 amongG1722 false brothers;G5569

27: in laborG2873 andG2532 toil,G3449 inG1722 watchingsG0070 often;G4178 inG1722 hungerG3042 andG2532 thirst,G1373 inG1722 fastingsG3521 often;G4178 inG1722 coldG5592 andG2532 nakedness.G1132

28: BesidesG5565 the thingsG3588 external,G3924 theG3588 pressureG1999 on meG1473 -G3588 on everyG2596 dayG2250 [is my]G3588 careG3308 for allG3956 theG3588 churches.G1577

29: WhoG5101 is weak,G0770 andG2532 notG3756 I am weak?G0770 WhoG5101 is led into sin,G4624 andG2532 notG3756 IG1473 do burn inwardly?G4448

30: IfG1487 to boastG2744 it behooves [me],G1163 [in] the thingsG3588 of theG3588 weaknessG0769 of meG1473 I will boast.G2744

31: TheG3588 GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424 knows,G1492 the [One]G3588 beingG1510 blessedG2128 toG1519 theG3588 ages,G0165 thatG3754 notG3756 I am lying.G5574

32: InG1722 DamascusG1154 theG3588 governorG1481 under AretasG0702 theG3588 kingG0935 was guardingG5432 theG3588 cityG4172 of the DamascenesG1153 to seizeG4084 me.G1473

33: ButG2532 throughG1223 a windowG2376 inG1722 a basketG4553 I was let downG5465 throughG1223 theG3588 wall,G5038 andG2532 I escapedG1628 theG3588 handsG5495 of him.G0846
