Woulde to God, yee coulde suffer a litle my foolishnes, and in deede, ye suffer me.
2 aemulor enim vos Dei aemulatione despondi enim vos uni viro virginem castam exhibere Christo
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 timeo autem ne sicut serpens Evam seduxit astutia sua ita corrumpantur sensus vestri et excidant a simplicitate quae est in Christo
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 nam si is qui venit alium Christum praedicat quem non praedicavimus aut alium spiritum accipitis quem non accepistis aut aliud evangelium quod non recepistis recte pateremini
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 existimo enim nihil me minus fecisse magnis apostolis
Verely I suppose that I was not inferior to the very chiefe Apostles.
6 et si inperitus sermone sed non scientia in omnibus autem manifestatus sum vobis
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.
7 aut numquid peccatum feci me ipsum humilians ut vos exaltemini quoniam gratis evangelium Dei evangelizavi vobis
Haue I committed an offence, because I abased my selfe, that ye might be exalted, and because I preached to you ye Gospell of God freely?
8 alias ecclesias expoliavi accipiens stipendium ad ministerium vestrum
I robbed other Churches, and tooke wages of them to doe you seruice.
9 et cum essem apud vos et egerem nulli onerosus fui nam quod mihi deerat suppleverunt fratres qui venerunt a Macedonia et in omnibus sine onere me vobis servavi et servabo
And when I was present with you, and had neede, I was not slouthfull to the hinderance of any man: for that which was lacking vnto me, the brethre which came from Macedonia, supplied, and in all thinges I kept and will keepe my selfe, that I should not be grieuous to you.
10 est veritas Christi in me quoniam haec gloria non infringetur in me in regionibus Achaiae

11 quare quia non diligo vos Deus scit
Wherefore? because I loue you not? God knoweth.
12 quod autem facio et faciam ut amputem occasionem eorum qui volunt occasionem ut in quo gloriantur inveniantur sicut et nos
But what I doe, that will I doe: that I may cut away occasion from them which desire occasion, that they might be found like vnto vs in that wherein they reioyce.
13 nam eiusmodi pseudoapostoli operarii subdoli transfigurantes se in apostolos Christi
For such false apostles are deceitfull workers, and transforme themselues into the Apostles of Christ.
14 et non mirum ipse enim Satanas transfigurat se in angelum lucis

16 iterum dico ne quis me putet insipientem alioquin velut insipientem accipite me ut et ego modicum quid glorier
I say againe, Let no man thinke that I am foolish, or els take mee euen as a foole, that I also may boast my selfe a litle.
17 quod loquor non loquor secundum Dominum sed quasi in insipientia in hac substantia gloriae
That I speake, I speake it not after the Lord: but as it were foolishly, in this my great boasting.
18 quoniam multi gloriantur secundum carnem et ego gloriabor
Seeing that many reioyce after the flesh, I will reioyce also.
19 libenter enim suffertis insipientes cum sitis ipsi sapientes
For ye suffer fooles gladly, because that yee are wise.
20 sustinetis enim si quis vos in servitutem redigit si quis devorat si quis accipit si quis extollitur si quis in faciem vos caedit
For ye suffer, euen if a man bring you into bondage, if a man deuoure you, if a man take your goods, if a man exalt himselfe, if a man smite you on the face.
21 secundum ignobilitatem dico quasi nos infirmi fuerimus in quo quis audet in insipientia dico audeo et ego
