Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
O
that
ye
were
bearing
with me
a little of the
folly
, but ye
also
do
bear
with
me:
I
hope
you
will
bear
with a little of my
foolishness
, but you
are
already
doing
that.
for
I am zealous
for you with zeal
of
God,
for I did
betroth
you to one husband, a pure virgin ,
to present
to
Christ ,
I am jealous
for you with a
godly
jealousy.
For I promised
you to one husband, to
present
you
as
a pure virgin to Christ .
and
I fear
, lest
, as the
serpent
did
beguile
Eve in
his
subtilty
, so
your minds may be corrupted
from the
simplicity
that
`is'
in
the
Christ ;
I am
afraid
, however
, that
just
as Eve was
deceived
by
the
serpent’s
cunning
, your minds may be led
astray
from your
simple
and
pure
devotion
to
Christ .
for if ,
indeed,
he
who
is
coming
doth
preach
another
Jesus whom
we did
not
preach
, or another
Spirit
ye
receive
which
ye
did
not
receive, or other
good
news
which
ye
did
not
accept
--
well
were
ye
bearing
`it'
,
For if someone
comes
and
proclaims
a
Jesus other
than
the
One
we proclaimed
, or if
you
receive a
different
spirit
than
the
One
you
received
, or a
different
gospel
than
the
one
you
accepted
, you
put
up
with
it
way
too
easily.
for
I reckon
that
I
have
been
nothing
behind
the
very
chiefest
apostles ,
I consider
myself
in
no
way
inferior
to
those
“super-
apostles .”
and
even
if
unlearned
in
word
--
yet
not in
knowledge
, but
in every
thing
we were
made manifest
in
all
things
to you.
Although
I
am
not a
polished
speaker
, I
am
certainly
not
lacking
in knowledge.
We have
made this
clear
to you in
every
way
possible
.
The
sin did
I
do
--
myself humbling
that
ye
might
be
exalted
, because freely
the good
news
of God I
did
proclaim
to you?
Was
it
a
sin for
me
to
humble
myself in
order
to
exalt
you
, because I
preached
the gospel
of God to you free
of
charge
?
other
assemblies
I did
rob,
having
taken
wages,
for
your
ministration;
I robbed
other
churches
by
accepting
their
support
in
order
to
serve
you.
and being
present
with you ,
and having
been
in want
, I was chargeable
to no
one,
for my
lack
did
the brethren
supply
--
having
come
from Macedonia --
and
in
everything
burdenless
to you I
did
keep
myself
, and will keep
.
And when
I
was
with you and in need
, I was not
a
burden
to anyone;
for the brothers
who
came
from Macedonia supplied
my
needs.
I
have
refrained
from
being
a
burden
to you in
any
way
, and I
will continue
to
do
so
.
The truth of Christ is in me, because
this boasting shall
not be stopped
in
regard
to
me
in the regions of Achaia ;
As
surely
as
the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of
mine
will
not be silenced
in the regions of Achaia .
wherefore
? because I do not love you? God hath
known
!
Why
? Because I do not love you? God knows
I
do
!
and
what
I
do,
I also
will do,
that
I may
cut
off
the
occasion
of
those wishing
an occasion,
that
in that
which they boast they
may
be
found
according
as
we
also;
But
I will keep
on
doing
what
I am
doing,
in
order
to
undercut
those who
want
an opportunity
to
be
regarded
as
our
equals
in the
things
of
which they boast .
for those
such `
are '
false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming
themselves
into
apostles of Christ ,
For such men
are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading
as
apostles of Christ .
and no wonder --
for even
the
Adversary
doth
transform
himself into
a
messenger
of light ;
And no wonder ,
for Satan
himself masquerades
as
an
angel
of light .
no
great
thing
, then, if also
his ministrants
do
transform
themselves
as ministrants
of righteousness --
whose
end shall
be
according
to their works
.
It
is
not
surprising
, then, if his servants
masquerade
as servants
of righteousness .
Their
end will
correspond
to their actions
.
Again
I say,
may
no one think
me to
be
a fool ;
and
if otherwise
, even
as a fool receive
me
, that I also
a
little
may boast.
I repeat:
Let
no one take
me for
a fool .
But
if you
do
, then
receive
me
as a fool, so
that I too
may boast a
little
.
That
which
I
speak
, I speak
not according
to
the Lord, but as in
foolishness,
in
this
the
confidence
of
boasting;
In
this
confident
boasting
of
mine
, I am
not speaking
as
the Lord would
, but as a
fool.
since many boast
according to the flesh, I also
will boast :
Since many are
boasting
according to the flesh, I too
will boast .
for gladly do
ye
bear
with
the
fools --
being
wise
,
For you
gladly tolerate
fools, since
you
are
so
wise.
for
ye
bear
, if
any
one
is
bringing
you under
bondage,
if
any
one
doth
devour,
if
any
one
doth
take
away,
if
any
one
doth
exalt
himself ,
if
any
one
on
the face doth
smite
you;
In
fact
, you even
put
up
with
anyone
who
enslaves
you
or
exploits
you
or
takes
advantage
of
you
or
exalts
himself or
strikes
you
in
the face .
in
reference
to dishonour
I speak,
how
that we were weak, and
in
whatever
any
one
is
bold
--
in
foolishness
I
say
`it'
--
I also
am
bold
.
To my
shame
I concede
that we were too
weak for
that!
Speaking
as
a
fool
, however,
I can
match
what
anyone
else
dares
to
boast
about
.
Hebrews
are they? I also!
Israelites
are they? I also!
seed
of
Abraham
are they? I also!
Are they Hebrews
? So
am
I .
Are they Israelites
? So
am
I .
Are they descendants
of
Abraham
? So
am
I .
ministrants
of
Christ
are they? --
as
beside
myself
I speak
--
I more ;
in labours
more
abundantly
, in stripes
above
measure
, in prisons
more
frequently
, in deaths
many
times;
Are they servants
of
Christ
? I am
speaking
like
I am
out
of
my
mind,
but
I
am
so
much
more :
in harder
labor
, in more
imprisonments
, in worse
beatings
, in frequent
danger
of
death.
from
Jews
five times forty `stripes'
save
one I
did
receive;
Five times I
received
from
the
Jews
the
forty lashes
minus
one .
thrice
was
I beaten with rods, once was
I stoned, thrice
was
I shipwrecked ,
a night and a day in the deep
I
have
passed;
Three
times
I was
beaten with rods, once I was
stoned, three
times
I was
shipwrecked .
I
spent
a night and a day in the open
sea.
journeyings
many
times
, perils
of
rivers ,
perils
of
robbers,
perils
from kindred
, perils
from nations
, perils
in city ,
perils
in wilderness
, perils
in sea ,
perils
among false brethren;
In
my
frequent
journeys
, I
have
been
in
danger
from
rivers and
from bandits
, in
danger
from my
countrymen
and
from
the
Gentiles
, in danger
in
the
city and
in the
country
, in danger
on
the
sea and
among false brothers,
in laboriousness
and painfulness,
in
watchings
many
times
, in hunger and thirst ,
in
fastings
many
times
, in cold and nakedness;
in labor
and toil
and
often
without
sleep
, in hunger and thirst and
often
without
food
, in cold and exposure.
apart from the
things
without
--
the
crowding
upon
me
that
is
daily --
the care
of all the assemblies
.
Apart from these
external
trials,
I
face
daily the pressure
of my
concern
for
all the churches
.
Who is infirm
, and I am not infirm
? who is stumbled
, and I am
not fired;
Who is weak
, and I am not weak
? Who is led
into
sin
, and I do
not burn
with
grief?
if to
boast it
behoveth
`me'
, of the things of
my infirmity
I
will
boast;
If I
must
boast, I
will
boast
of the things that
show
my weakness.
the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ
--
who is blessed
to
the
ages
--
hath
known
that I do
not lie!
--
The God and Father of the
Lord Jesus ,
who is forever
worthy
of
praise,
knows
that I am
not lying.
In Damascus the
ethnarch
of
Aretas
the king was

wishing
to seize
me ,
In Damascus ,
the governor
under
King Aretas
secured
the city of the Damascenes in
order
to arrest
me .
and
through
a
window
in a rope
basket I
was
let
down,
through the wall ,
and fled
out
of
his hands
.
But
I
was
lowered
in a basket through a
window
in
the wall and escaped
his grasp
.
