2 Corinthians 11:1-6

Paul Defends His Apostolic Motives

1
Woulde to God, yee coulde suffer a litle my foolishnes, and in deede, ye suffer me.
2
For I am ielous ouer you, with godly ielousie: for I haue prepared you for one husband, to present you as a pure virgine to Christ:
3
But I feare least as the serpent beguiled Eue through his subtiltie, so your mindes shoulde be corrupt from the simplicitie that is in Christ.
4
For if he that commeth, preacheth another Iesus whome we haue not preached: or if yee receiue another spirite whome ye haue not receiued: either another Gospell, which yee haue not receiued, ye might well haue suffered him.
5
Verely I suppose that I was not inferior to the very chiefe Apostles.
6
And though I be rude in speaking, yet I am not so in knowledge, but among you wee haue beene made manifest to the vttermost, in all things.
