2 Corinthians 11

1 I wish you were bearing with me little (a *no*) (*k*) (of foolishness; *N(k)O*) but indeed you do endure me.

Ὄφελον ἀνείχεσθέ μου μικρόν (τι *no*) (τῇ *k*) (ἀφροσύνης· *N(k)O*) ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀνέχεσθέ μου.

2 I am jealous as to for you of God with [the] jealousy; I have betrothed for you to one husband a virgin pure to present to Christ,

ζηλῶ γὰρ ὑμᾶς θεοῦ ζήλῳ· ἡρμοσάμην γὰρ ὑμᾶς ἑνὶ ἀνδρὶ παρθένον ἁγνὴν παραστῆσαι τῷ Χριστῷ,

3 I am afraid however lest perhaps as the serpent deceived Eve in the craftiness of him, (thus *k*) may be corrupted the minds of you from the simplicity (and the purity *NO*) in Christ.

φοβοῦμαι δὲ μή πως ὡς ὁ ὄφις ἐξηπάτησεν Εὕαν ἐν τῇ πανουργίᾳ αὐτοῦ, (οὕτως *k*) φθαρῇ τὰ νοήματα ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἁπλότητος (καὶ τῆς ἁγνότητος *NO*) τῆς εἰς τὸν Χριστόν.

4 If indeed for the [one] coming another Jesus proclaims whom not we did proclaim, or a spirit different you receive which not you did receive, or glad tidings different which not you did accept, well (you are enduring [it]. *N(k)(o)*)

εἰ μὲν γὰρ ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἄλλον Ἰησοῦν κηρύσσει ὃν οὐκ ἐκηρύξαμεν, ἢ πνεῦμα ἕτερον λαμβάνετε ὃ οὐκ ἐλάβετε, ἢ εὐαγγέλιον ἕτερον ὃ οὐκ ἐδέξασθε, καλῶς (ἀνέχεσθε. *N(k)(o)*)

5 I reckon for in nothing to have been inferior to those most eminent most eminent apostles.

Λογίζομαι γὰρ μηδὲν ὑστερηκέναι τῶν ὑπερλίαν ὑπερλίαν ἀποστόλων.

6 If however even unpolished in speech [I am], yet not in knowledge, but in every [way] (were manifested *N(k)O*) in all things to you.

εἰ δὲ καὶ ἰδιώτης τῷ λόγῳ, ἀλλ᾽ οὐ τῇ γνώσει, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν παντὶ (φανερώσαντες *N(k)O*) ἐν πᾶσιν εἰς ὑμᾶς.

7 Or a sin did I commit myself humbling so that you yourselves may be exalted, because freely the of God gospel I evangelised to you?

ἢ ἁμαρτίαν ἐποίησα ἐμαυτὸν ταπεινῶν ἵνα ὑμεῖς ὑψωθῆτε, ὅτι δωρεὰν τὸ τοῦ θεοῦ εὐαγγέλιον εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν;

8 Other churches I robbed having received support for the toward you service,

ἄλλας ἐκκλησίας ἐσύλησα λαβὼν ὀψώνιον πρὸς τὴν ὑμῶν διακονίαν,

9 And being present with you and having been in need not I did burden no [one]; for the need of mine completely filled up the brothers having come from Macedonia, and in everything unburdensome myself to you I kept and will keep.

καὶ παρὼν πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ ὑστερηθεὶς οὐ κατενάρκησα οὐθενός· τὸ γὰρ ὑστέρημά μου προσανεπλήρωσαν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἐλθόντες ἀπὸ Μακεδονίας, καὶ ἐν παντὶ ἀβαρῆ ἐμαυτὸν ὑμῖν ἐτήρησα καὶ τηρήσω.

10 Is [the] truth of Christ in me myself that boasting this not (will be stopped *N(k)O*) of mine in the regions of Achaia.

ἔστιν ἀλήθεια Χριστοῦ ἐν ἐμοὶ ὅτι ἡ καύχησις αὕτη οὐ (φραγήσεται *N(k)O*) εἰς ἐμὲ ἐν τοῖς κλίμασιν τῆς Ἀχαΐας.

11 Because of why? Because surely I do love you? God knows [I do]!

διὰ τί; ὅτι οὐκ ἀγαπῶ ὑμᾶς; ὁ θεὸς οἶδεν·

12 What however I do, also I will do, so that I may cut off the opportunity of those desiring an opportunity that in what they are boasting, they may be found even as also we ourselves.

ὃ δὲ ποιῶ, καὶ ποιήσω, ἵνα ἐκκόψω τὴν ἀφορμὴν τῶν θελόντων ἀφορμήν, ἵνα ἐν ᾧ καυχῶνται, εὑρεθῶσιν καθὼς καὶ ἡμεῖς.

13 For such [are] false apostles, workers deceitful, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ;

οἱ γὰρ τοιοῦτοι ψευδαπόστολοι, ἐργάται δόλιοι, μετασχηματιζόμενοι εἰς ἀποστόλους Χριστοῦ·

14 And no (wonder; *N(k)O*) himself for Satan masquerades as an angel of light;

καὶ οὐ (θαῦμα· *N(k)O*) αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ σατανᾶς μετασχηματίζεται εἰς ἄγγελον φωτός·

15 [It is] not surprising therefore if even the servants of him masquerade as servants of righteousness whose end will be according to the deeds of them.

οὐ μέγα οὖν εἰ καὶ οἱ διάκονοι αὐτοῦ μετασχηματίζονται ὡς διάκονοι δικαιοσύνης ὧν τὸ τέλος ἔσται κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν.

16 Again I say, no one me may think a fool to be; lest then except indeed even even as a fool do receive me, that I myself also I myself also little a may boast.

Πάλιν λέγω, μή τίς με δόξῃ ἄφρονα εἶναι· εἰ δὲ μή γε, κἂν κἂν ὡς ἄφρονα δέξασθέ με, ἵνα κἀγὼ κἀγὼ μικρόν τι καυχήσωμαι.

17 What I am saying, not according to [the] Lord am I saying but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting.

ὃ λαλῶ, οὐ κατὰ κύριον λαλῶ ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ, ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ ὑποστάσει τῆς καυχήσεως.

18 Since many boast according to (the *ko*) flesh, I myself also I myself also will boast.

ἐπεὶ πολλοὶ καυχῶνται κατὰ (τὴν *ko*) σάρκα, κἀγὼ κἀγὼ καυχήσομαι.

19 Gladly for you bear with fools, wise being!

ἡδέως γὰρ ἀνέχεσθε τῶν ἀφρόνων, φρόνιμοι ὄντες·

20 You bear [it] for if anyone you enslaves, if anyone devours [you], if anyone takes [from you], if anyone exalts himself, if anyone in [the] face you strikes.

ἀνέχεσθε γάρ, εἴ τις ὑμᾶς καταδουλοῖ, εἴ τις κατεσθίει, εἴ τις λαμβάνει, εἴ τις ἐπαίρεται, εἴ τις εἰς πρόσωπον ὑμᾶς δέρει.

21 As to dishonor I speak, as that we ourselves (have been weak! *N(k)O*) In whatever however maybe anyone may be daring — in foolishness I speak — am daring I myself also. I myself also.

κατὰ ἀτιμίαν λέγω, ὡς ὅτι ἡμεῖς (ἠσθενήκαμεν· *N(k)O*) ἐν ᾧ δ᾽ ἄν τις τολμᾷ, ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ λέγω, τολμῶ κἀγώ. κἀγώ.

22 Hebrews are they? I myself also; I myself also; Israelites are they? I myself also; I myself also; Descendants of Abraham are they? I myself also; I myself also;

Ἑβραῖοί εἰσιν; κἀγώ· κἀγώ· Ἰσραηλῖταί εἰσιν; κἀγώ· κἀγώ· σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ εἰσιν; κἀγώ· κἀγώ·

23 Servants of Christ are they? As being beside myself I speak; above [measure] I myself[am]. in labors more abundantly in imprisonments more abundantly, in beatings above measure, in deaths often.

διάκονοι Χριστοῦ εἰσιν; παραφρονῶν λαλῶ· ὑπὲρ ἐγώ. ἐν κόποις περισσοτέρως, ἐν φυλακαῖς περισσοτέρως, ἐν πληγαῖς ὑπερβαλλόντως, ἐν θανάτοις πολλάκις.

24 From [the] Jews five times forty [lashes] minus one I received,

ὑπὸ Ἰουδαίων πεντάκις τεσσεράκοντα παρὰ μίαν ἔλαβον,

25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep [sea] I have passed;

τρὶς ἐρραβδίσθην, ἅπαξ ἐλιθάσθην, τρὶς ἐναυάγησα, νυχθήμερον ἐν τῷ βυθῷ πεποίηκα·

26 in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from [my own] race, in perils from [the] Gentiles, in perils in [the] city, in perils in [the] wilderness, in perils on [the] sea, in perils among false brothers,

ὁδοιπορίαις πολλάκις, κινδύνοις ποταμῶν, κινδύνοις λῃστῶν, κινδύνοις ἐκ γένους, κινδύνοις ἐξ ἐθνῶν, κινδύνοις ἐν πόλει, κινδύνοις ἐν ἐρημίᾳ, κινδύνοις ἐν θαλάσσῃ, κινδύνοις ἐν ψευδαδέλφοις,

27 (in *k*) labor and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness;

(ἐν *k*) κόπῳ καὶ μόχθῳ, ἐν ἀγρυπνίαις πολλάκις, ἐν λιμῷ καὶ δίψει, ἐν νηστείαις πολλάκις, ἐν ψύχει καὶ γυμνότητι·

28 Besides the [things] external the (stoppage on me *N(k)O*) on every day [is my] care for all the churches.

χωρὶς τῶν παρεκτὸς ἡ (ἐπίστασίς μοι *N(k)O*) ἡ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν, ἡ μέριμνα πασῶν τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν.

29 Who is weak, and not I am weak? Who is led into sin, and surely I myself do burn inwardly?

τίς ἀσθενεῖ, καὶ οὐκ ἀσθενῶ; τίς σκανδαλίζεται, καὶ οὐκ ἐγὼ πυροῦμαι;

30 If to boast it behooves [me], [in] the [things] of the weakness of mine I will boast.

εἰ καυχᾶσθαι δεῖ, τὰ τῆς ἀσθενείας μου καυχήσομαι.

31 The God and Father of the Lord (of us *k*) Jesus (Christ *K*) knows, who is being blessed to the ages, that not I am lying. (aiōn g165)

Ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τοῦ κυρίου (ἡμῶν *k*) Ἰησοῦ (Χριστοῦ *K*) οἶδεν, ὁ ὢν εὐλογητὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, ὅτι οὐ ψεύδομαι. (aiōn g165)

32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king was guarding the city of the Damascenes to seize me (wishing *KO*)

ἐν Δαμασκῷ ὁ ἐθνάρχης Ἁρέτα τοῦ βασιλέως ἐφρούρει τὴν πόλιν Δαμασκηνῶν πιάσαι με (θέλων, *KO*)

33 But through a window in a basket I was let down through the wall and I escaped the hands of him.

καὶ διὰ θυρίδος ἐν σαργάνῃ ἐχαλάσθην διὰ τοῦ τείχους καὶ ἐξέφυγον τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ.
