Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

2 Corinthians 11

1 Out of his jealousy over the Corinthians, who seemed to make more account of the false apostles than of him, he entereth into a forced commendation of himself, 5 of his equality with the chief Apostles, 7 of his preaching the Gospel to them freely, and without any their charge, 13 shewing that he was not inferior to those deceitful workers in any legal prerogative, 23 and in the service of Christ, and in all kind of sufferings for his ministry, far superior.

 11:1 ¶ Would to God 3785 ye could bear y430 z5711 with x430 me 3450 a little y3397 x3398 in [my] folly: 877 and y2532 x235 indeed y235 x2532 bear y430 z5736 with x430 me. 3450

 11:2 For 1063 I am jealous 2206 z5719 over you 5209 with godly 2316 jealousy: 2205 for 1063 I have espoused 718 z5668 you 5209 to one 1520 husband, 435 that I may present 3936 z5658 [you as] a chaste 53 virgin 3933 to Christ. 5547

 11:3 But 1161 I fear, 5399 z5736 lest y3381 by any means, y4458 x3381 as 5613 the x3588 serpent 3789 beguiled 1818 z5656 Eve 2096 through 1722 his y846 x848 subtilty, 3834 so 3779 your 5216 minds 3540 should be corrupted 5351 z5652 from 575 the x3588 simplicity 572 that x3588 is in 1519 Christ. 5547

 11:4 For 1063 if 1487 y3303 he that cometh 2064 z5740 preacheth 2784 z5719 another 243 Jesus, 2424 whom 3739 we have y2784 z0 not 3756 preached, 2784 z5656 or 2228 [if] ye receive 2983 z5719 another 2087 spirit, 4151 which 3739 ye have y2983 z0 not 3756 received, 2983 z5627 or 2228 another 2087 gospel, 2098 which 3739 ye have y1209 z0 not 3756 accepted, 1209 z5662 ye might y430 z0 well 2573 bear with 430 z5711 [him].

 11:5 For 1063 I suppose 3049 z5736 I was y5302 z0 not a whit y3367 behind 5302 z5760 x3367 the x3588 very y5228 chiefest 3029 x5228 apostles. 652

 11:6 But 1161 though y1499 x1487 x2532 [I be] rude 2399 in speech, 3056 yet 235 not 3756 in knowledge; 1108 but 235 we have been throughly 1722 3956 made manifest 5319 z5685 among 1519 you 5209 in 1722 all things. 3956

 11:7 2228 Have I committed 4160 z5656 an offence 266 in abasing 5013 z5723 myself 1683 that 2443 ye 5210 might be exalted, 5312 z5686 because 3754 I have preached 2097 z5668 to you 5213 the x3588 gospel 2098 of God 2316 freely? 1432

 11:8 I robbed 4813 z5656 other 243 churches, 1577 taking 2983 z5631 wages 3800 [of them], to 4314 do y1248 z0 you 5216 service. 1248

 11:9 And 2532 when I was present 3918 z5752 with 4314 you, 5209 and 2532 wanted, 5302 z5685 I x3756 was y3756 chargeable 2655 z5656 to no man: 3762 for 1063 that which was lacking 5303 to me 3450 the x3588 brethren 80 which came 2064 z5631 from 575 Macedonia 3109 supplied: 4322 z5656 and 2532 in 1722 all 3956 [things] I have kept 5083 z5656 myself 1683 from being burdensome 4 unto you, 5213 and 2532 [so] will I keep 5083 z5692 [myself].

 11:10 As the truth 225 of Christ 5547 is 2076 z5748 in 1722 me, 1698 y3754 no man 3756 x3754 shall stop 4972 z5695 z5625 y5420 z5691 x1519 me 1691 y1519 of this 3778 boasting 2746 in 1722 the x3588 regions 2824 of Achaia. 882

 11:11 Wherefore? 1302 because 3754 I love 25 z5719 you 5209 not? 3756 God 2316 knoweth. 1492 z5758

 11:12 But 1161 what 3739 I do, 4160 z5719 that y2532 I x2532 will do, 4160 z5692 that 2443 I may cut off 1581 z5661 occasion 874 from them which desire 2309 z5723 occasion; 874 that 2443 wherein 1722 3739 they glory, 2744 z5736 they may be found 2147 z5686 even 2532 as 2531 we. 2249

 11:13 For 1063 such 5108 [are] false apostles, 5570 deceitful 1386 workers, 2040 transforming themselves 3345 z5734 into 1519 the apostles 652 of Christ. 5547

 11:14 And 2532 no 3756 marvel; 2298 for 1063 Satan 4567 himself 846 is transformed 3345 z5731 into 1519 an angel 32 of light. 5457

 11:15 Therefore 3767 [it is] no 3756 great thing 3173 if 1499 z0 his 846 ministers 1249 also y1499 be transformed 3345 z5743 as 5613 the ministers 1249 of righteousness; 1343 whose 3739 end 5056 shall be 2071 z5704 according 2596 to their 846 works. 2041

 11:16 I say 3004 z5719 again, 3825 Let y1380 z0 no 3361 man 5100 think 1380 z5661 me 3165 y1511 z5750 a x1511 fool; 878 if otherwise, 1490 yet 2579 as 5613 a fool 878 receive 1209 z5663 me, 3165 that 2443 I 2504 may boast x2744 myself y2744 z5667 a y5100 little. y3397 x3398 x5100

 11:17 That x3739 which y3739 I speak, 2980 z5719 I speak 2980 z5719 [it] not 3756 after 2596 the Lord, 2962 but 235 as y5613 it were x5613 foolishly, 1722 877 in 1722 this 5026 confidence 5287 of boasting. 2746

 11:18 Seeing that 1893 many 4183 glory 2744 z5736 after 2596 the x3588 flesh, 4561 I will glory y2744 z5695 also. 2504 x2744

 11:19 For 1063 ye suffer 430 z5736 fools 878 gladly, 2234 seeing ye [yourselves] are 5607 z5752 wise. 5429

 11:20 For 1063 ye suffer, 430 z5736 if a man 1536 bring y2615 z0 you y5209 into bondage, 2615 z5719 x5209 if a man 1536 devour 2719 z5719 [you], if a man 1536 take 2983 z5719 [of you], if a man 1536 exalt himself, 1869 z5731 if a man 1536 smite 1194 z5719 you 5209 on 1519 the face. 4383

 11:21 I speak 3004 z5719 as concerning 2596 reproach, 819 as 5613 though 3754 we 2249 had been weak. 770 z5656 Howbeit 1161 whereinsoever 1722 3739 302 any 5100 is bold, y5111 z5725 (I x5111 speak 3004 z5719 foolishly,) 1722 877 I am bold y5111 z5719 also. 2504 x5111

 11:22 Are x1526 they y1526 z5748 Hebrews? 1445 so [am] I. 2504 Are x1526 they y1526 z5748 Israelites? 2475 so [am] I. 2504 Are x1526 they y1526 z5748 the seed 4690 of Abraham? 11 so [am] I. 2504

 11:23 Are x1526 they y1526 z5748 ministers 1249 of Christ? y5547 (I x5547 speak 2980 z5719 as a fool) 3912 z5723 I 1473 [am] more; 5228 in 1722 labours 2873 more abundant, 4056 in 1722 stripes 4127 above measure, 5234 in 1722 prisons 5438 more frequent, 4056 in 1722 deaths 2288 oft. 4178

 11:24 Of 5259 the Jews 2453 five times 3999 received x2983 I y2983 z5627 forty 5062 [stripes] save 3844 one. 3391

 11:25 Thrice 5151 was I beaten with rods, 4463 z5681 once 530 was I stoned, 3034 z5681 thrice 5151 I suffered shipwreck, 3489 z5656 a night and a day 3574 I have been 4160 z5758 in 1722 the x3588 deep; 1037

 11:26 [In] journeyings 3597 often, 4178 [in] perils 2794 of waters, 4215 [in] perils 2794 of robbers, 3027 [in] perils 2794 by 1537 [mine own] countrymen, 1085 [in] perils 2794 by 1537 the heathen, 1484 [in] perils 2794 in 1722 the city, 4172 [in] perils 2794 in 1722 the wilderness, 2047 [in] perils 2794 in 1722 the sea, 2281 [in] perils 2794 among 1722 false brethren; 5569

 11:27 In 1722 weariness 2873 and 2532 painfulness, 3449 in 1722 watchings 70 often, 4178 in 1722 hunger 3042 and 2532 thirst, y1373 x1372 in 1722 fastings 3521 often, 4178 in 1722 cold 5592 and 2532 nakedness. 1132

 11:28 Beside 5565 those things that are without, 3924 that which y3588 cometh upon 1999 me 3450 daily, 2250 2596 the x3588 care 3308 of all 3956 the x3588 churches. 1577

 11:29 Who 5101 is weak, 770 z5719 and 2532 I am y770 z0 not y3756 weak? 770 z5719 x3756 who 5101 is offended, 4624 z5743 and 2532 I 1473 burn 4448 z5743 not? 3756

 11:30 If 1487 I must needs 1163 z5748 glory, 2744 z5738 I will glory 2744 z5695 of the things x3588 which concern y3588 mine 3450 infirmities. 769

 11:31 The x3588 God 2316 and 2532 Father 3962 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ, 5547 which y3588 is 5607 z5752 blessed 2128 for y1519 evermore, 165 x1519 knoweth 1492 z5758 that x3754 I y3754 lie 5574 z5736 not. 3756

 11:32 In 1722 Damascus 1154 the x3588 governor 1481 under Aretas 702 the x3588 king 935 kept y5432 z0 the city y4172 of the Damascenes y1153 with a garrison, 5432 z5707 x3588 x4172 x1153 desirous 2309 z5723 to apprehend 4084 z5658 me: 3165

 11:33 And 2532 through 1223 a window 2376 in 1722 a basket 4553 was I let down 5465 z5681 by 1223 the x3588 wall, 5038 and 2532 escaped 1628 z5627 his 846 hands. 5495
