< 2 Corinthians 11 >

1 I hope you can put up with a little more foolishness from me—well you already do put up with me!

2 I agonize over you with a divine kind of jealousy, for I promised you to a single husband—Christ—so that I could present you as a pure virgin to him.

3 I worry that in some way, just as the serpent deceived Eve with his devious cunning, that you might be led astray in your thinking from your sincere and pure commitment to Christ.

4 If anyone comes and tells you about a different Jesus to the one we shared with you, you easily go along with them, accepting a different spirit to the one you received, and a different kind of good news to the one you believed.

5 I don't believe I'm inferior to these “super-apostles.”

6 Even though I may not be skilled in giving speeches, I do know what I'm talking about. We have made this absolutely clear to you in every way.

7 Was it wrong of me to humble myself so you could be elevated, since I shared the good news with you at no charge?

8 I robbed as it were other churches, taking pay from them so I could work for you.

9 When I was there with you and needed something, I wasn't a burden to anyone because the believers who came from Macedonia took care of my needs. I was determined never to be a burden to you and I never shall.

10 This is as certain as the truth of Christ that is in me: nobody in all Achaia will stop me boasting about this!

11 And why? Because I don't love you? God knows that I do!
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ.
12 I'll continue to do what I've always done, so as to remove any opportunity for those who want to boast that their work is the same as ours.

13 These people are false apostles, dishonest workers, who pretend to be apostles of Christ.

14 Don't be surprised at this for even Satan himself pretends to be an angel of light.

15 So it's no wonder then if those who serve him pretend to be agents of good. But their final end will be in accordance with what they've done.

16 Let me say it again: please don't think I'm being foolish. However, even if you do, accept me as someone who is foolish, and let me also boast a little.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲁⲧϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲧϩⲏⲧ ϣⲟⲡⲧ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ϩⲱ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ.
17 What I'm saying is not as the Lord would say it—all this foolish boasting.

18 But since many others are boasting in the way the world does, let me boast too.

20 You put up with people who make you slaves, who take what you have, who exploit you, who arrogantly put you down, who hit you in the face.

21 I'm so sorry that we were too weak to do anything like that! But whatever people dare to boast about, I dare to do too. (Here I'm talking like a fool again.)

23 Are they servants of Christ? (I know I'll sound like I'm crazy, talking like this.) But I have done so much more. I've worked harder, been imprisoned more often, whipped more times than I can count, faced death time and again.

26 During my many journeys I have faced the dangers of crossing rivers, robber gangs, attacks from my own countrymen, as well as from foreigners. I have faced danger in cities, in the deserts, and on the sea. I have faced the danger of people who pretend to be Christians.
