2 Korintus 11:7-33

11:7 Or did I commit a sin by humbling myself ¹  so that you could be exalted, because I proclaimed ²  the gospel of God to you free of charge? 11:8 I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so that I could serve you! ³  11:9 When ⁴  I was with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia fully supplied my needs. ⁵  I ⁶  kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so. 11:10 As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine ⁷  will not be stopped ⁸  in the regions of Achaia. 11:11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do! ⁹  11:12 And what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may eliminate any opportunity for those who want a chance to be regarded as our equals ¹⁰  in the things they boast about. 11:13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful ¹¹  workers, disguising themselves ¹²  as apostles of Christ. 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself ¹³  as an angel of light. 11:15 Therefore it is not surprising his servants also disguise themselves ¹⁴  as servants of righteousness, whose end will correspond to their actions. ¹⁵ 

Paul’s Sufferings for Christ

11:16 I say again, let no one think that I am a fool. ¹⁶  But if you do, then at least accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little. 11:17 What I am saying with this boastful confidence ¹⁷  I do not say the way the Lord would. ¹⁸  Instead it is, as it were, foolishness. 11:18 Since many ¹⁹  are boasting according to human standards, ²⁰  I too will boast. 11:19 For since you are so wise, you put up with ²¹  fools gladly. 11:20 For you put up with ²²  it if someone makes slaves of you, if someone exploits you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone behaves arrogantly ²³  toward you, if someone strikes you in the face. 11:21 (To my disgrace ²⁴  I must say that we were too weak for that!) ²⁵  But whatever anyone else dares to boast about ²⁶  (I am speaking foolishly), I also dare to boast about the same thing. ²⁷  11:22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I. 11:23 Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking like I am out of my mind!) I am even more so: with much greater labors, with far more imprisonments, with more severe beatings, facing death many times. 11:24 Five times I received from the Jews forty lashes less one. ²⁸  11:25 Three times I was beaten with a rod. ²⁹  Once I received a stoning. ³⁰  Three times I suffered shipwreck. A night and a day I spent adrift in the open sea. 11:26 I have been on journeys many times, in dangers from rivers, in dangers from robbers, ³¹  in dangers from my own countrymen, in dangers from Gentiles, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, ³²  in dangers at sea, in dangers from false brothers, 11:27 in hard work and toil, ³³  through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, many times without food, in cold and without enough clothing. ³⁴  11:28 Apart from other things, ³⁵  there is the daily pressure on me of my anxious concern ³⁶  for all the churches. 11:29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, ³⁷  and I do not burn with indignation? 11:30 If I must boast, ³⁸  I will boast about the things that show my weakness. ³⁹  11:31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is blessed forever, knows I am not lying. 11:32 In Damascus, the governor ⁴⁰  under King Aretas was guarding the city of Damascus ⁴¹  in order to arrest ⁴²  me, 11:33 but I was let down in a rope-basket ⁴³  through a window in the city wall, and escaped his hands.
