< 2 Corinthians 11 >

1 Would that ye could bear with me in a little foolishness: nay indeed bear with me.
οφελον ανειχεσθε μου μικρον τι αφροσυνης αλλα και ανεχεσθε μου
2 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.
ζηλω γαρ υμας θεου ζηλω ηρμοσαμην γαρ υμας ενι ανδρι παρθενον αγνην παραστησαι τω χριστω
3 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.
φοβουμαι δε μη πως ως ο οφις εξηπατησεν ευαν εν τη πανουργια αυτου φθαρη τα νοηματα υμων απο της απλοτητος [και της αγνοτητος] της εις τον χριστον
4 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].
ει μεν γαρ ο ερχομενος αλλον ιησουν κηρυσσει ον ουκ εκηρυξαμεν η πνευμα ετερον λαμβανετε ο ουκ ελαβετε η ευαγγελιον ετερον ο ουκ εδεξασθε καλως ανεχεσθε
5 For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
λογιζομαι γαρ μηδεν υστερηκεναι των υπερ λιαν αποστολων
6 But though [I be] rude in speech, yet [am I] not in knowledge; nay, in everything we have made [it] manifest among all men to you-ward.
ει δε και ιδιωτης τω λογω αλλ ου τη γνωσει αλλ εν παντι φανερωσαντες εν πασιν εις υμας
7 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?
η αμαρτιαν εποιησα εμαυτον ταπεινων ινα υμεις υψωθητε οτι δωρεαν το του θεου ευαγγελιον ευηγγελισαμην υμιν
8 I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them] that I might minister unto you;
αλλας εκκλησιας εσυλησα λαβων οψωνιον προς την υμων διακονιαν
9 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].
και παρων προς υμας και υστερηθεις ου κατεναρκησα ουθενος το γαρ υστερημα μου προσανεπληρωσαν οι αδελφοι ελθοντες απο μακεδονιας και εν παντι αβαρη εμαυτον υμιν ετηρησα και τηρησω
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this glorying in the regions of Achaia.
εστιν αληθεια χριστου εν εμοι οτι η καυχησις αυτη ου φραγησεται εις εμε εν τοις κλιμασιν της αχαιας
11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
δια τι οτι ουκ αγαπω υμας ο θεος οιδεν
12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire an occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
ο δε ποιω και ποιησω ινα εκκοψω την αφορμην των θελοντων αφορμην ινα εν ω καυχωνται ευρεθωσιν καθως και ημεις
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ.
οι γαρ τοιουτοι ψευδαποστολοι εργαται δολιοι μετασχηματιζομενοι εις αποστολους χριστου
14 And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light.
και ου θαυμα αυτος γαρ ο σατανας μετασχηματιζεται εις αγγελον φωτος
15 It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
ου μεγα ουν ει και οι διακονοι αυτου μετασχηματιζονται ως διακονοι δικαιοσυνης ων το τελος εσται κατα τα εργα αυτων
16 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.
παλιν λεγω μη τις με δοξη αφρονα ειναι ει δε μη γε καν ως αφρονα δεξασθε με ινα καγω μικρον τι καυχησωμαι
17 That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying.
ο λαλω ου κατα κυριον λαλω αλλ ως εν αφροσυνη εν ταυτη τη υποστασει της καυχησεως
18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
επει πολλοι καυχωνται κατα {VAR1: [την] } σαρκα καγω καυχησομαι
19 For ye bear with the foolish gladly, being wise [yourselves].
ηδεως γαρ ανεχεσθε των αφρονων φρονιμοι οντες
20 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.
ανεχεσθε γαρ ει τις υμας καταδουλοι ει τις κατεσθιει ει τις λαμβανει ει τις επαιρεται ει τις εις προσωπον υμας δερει
21 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.
κατα ατιμιαν λεγω ως οτι ημεις ησθενηκαμεν εν ω δ αν τις τολμα εν αφροσυνη λεγω τολμω καγω
22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
εβραιοι εισιν καγω ισραηλιται εισιν καγω σπερμα αβρααμ εισιν καγω
23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I more; in labours more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths oft.
διακονοι χριστου εισιν παραφρονων λαλω υπερ εγω εν κοποις περισσοτερως εν φυλακαις περισσοτερως εν πληγαις υπερβαλλοντως εν θανατοις πολλακις
24 Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one.
υπο ιουδαιων πεντακις τεσσερακοντα παρα μιαν ελαβον
25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day have I been in the deep;
τρις ερραβδισθην απαξ ελιθασθην τρις εναυαγησα νυχθημερον εν τω βυθω πεποιηκα
26 [in] journeyings often, [in] perils of rivers, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils from [my] countrymen, [in] perils from the Gentiles, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren;
οδοιποριαις πολλακις κινδυνοις ποταμων κινδυνοις ληστων κινδυνοις εκ γενους κινδυνοις εξ εθνων κινδυνοις εν πολει κινδυνοις εν ερημια κινδυνοις εν θαλασση κινδυνοις εν ψευδαδελφοις
27 [in] labour and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
κοπω και μοχθω εν αγρυπνιαις πολλακις εν λιμω και διψει εν νηστειαις πολλακις εν ψυχει και γυμνοτητι
28 Beside those things that are without, there is that which presseth upon me daily, anxiety for all the churches.
χωρις των παρεκτος η επιστασις μοι η καθ ημεραν η μεριμνα πασων των εκκλησιων
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is made to stumble, and I burn not?
τις ασθενει και ουκ ασθενω τις σκανδαλιζεται και ουκ εγω πυρουμαι
30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my weakness.
ει καυχασθαι δει τα της ασθενειας {VAR1: [μου] } {VAR2: μου } καυχησομαι
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn g165)
ο θεος και πατηρ του κυριου ιησου οιδεν ο ων ευλογητος εις τους αιωνας οτι ου ψευδομαι (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes, in order to take me:
εν δαμασκω ο εθναρχης αρετα του βασιλεως εφρουρει την πολιν δαμασκηνων πιασαι με
33 and through a window was I let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
και δια θυριδος εν σαργανη εχαλασθην δια του τειχους και εξεφυγον τας χειρας αυτου
