CHAP. XI.
1 Out of his ielousie ouer the Corinthians, who
seemed to make more account of the false apostles,
then of him, he entreth into a forced
commendation of himselfe, 5 of his equalitie
with the chiefe Apostles, 7 of his preaching
the Gospel to them freely, and without
any their charge, 13 shewing that hee was
not inferiour to those deceitfull workers, in any
legall prerogatiue, 13 and in the seruice of
Christ, and in all kind of sufferings for his ministery,
farre superiour.
1
Would to God you could
beare with mee a little in
my folly, ∧ in deede note beare
with me.
2
For I am iealous ouer
you with godly iealousie, for I haue
espoused you to one husband, that I
may present you as a chaste virgin to
Christ.
3
But I feare lest by any meanes,
as the Serpent beguiled Eue through
his subtilty, so your mindes should bee
corrupted from the simplicitie that is in
Christ.
4
For if he that commeth preacheth
another Iesus whome wee haue not
preached, or if yee receiue another spirit,
which ye haue not receiued, or another
Gospel, which ye haue not accepted, yee
might well beare with him.
5
For, I suppose, I was not a whit
behinde the very chiefest Apostles.
6
But though I be rude in speach,
yet not in knowledge; but we haue bene
throughly made manifest among you
in all things.
7
Haue I committed an offence in
abasing my selfe, that you might be exalted,
because I haue preached to you
the Gospel of God freely?
8
I robbed other Churches, taking
wages of them to doe you seruice.
9
And when I was present with
you, and wanted, I was chargeable to
no man: For that which was lacking
to mee, the brethren which came from
Macedonia supplied, and in all things
-- --
Angel of light.
I haue kept my selfe from being burthensome
to you, and so will I keepe
my selfe.
10
As the trueth of Christ is in mee,
no man shall note stop mee of this boasting
in the regions of Achaia.
11
Wherefore? because I loue you
not? God knoweth.
12
But what I doe, that I wil doe,
that I may cut off occasion from them
which desire occasion, that wherein
they glory, they may bee found euen
as we.
13
For such are false Apostles, deceitfull
workers, transforming themselues
into the Apostles of Christ.
14
And no marueile, for Sathan
himselfe is transformed into an Angel
of light.
15
Therefore it is no great thing if
his ministers also bee transformed as
the ministers of righteousnesse, whose
end shall be according to their workes.
16
I say againe, Let no man thinke
mee a foole; if otherwise, yet as a foole
note receiue me, that I may boast my selfe
a little.
17
That which I speake, I speake
it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly
in this confidence of boasting.
18
Seeing that many glory after the
flesh, I will glory also.
19
For ye suffer fooles gladly, seeing
ye your selues are wise.
20
For ye suffer if a man bring you
into bondage, if a man deuoure you, if a
man take of you, if a man exalt himselfe,
if a man smite you on the face.
21
I speake as concerning reproch,
as though we had bene weake: howbeit,
wherein soeuer any is bold, I speake
foolishly, I am bold also.
22
Are they Hebrewes? so am I: are
they Israelites? so am I: are they the
seed of Abraham? so am I:
23
Are they ministers of Christ? I
speake as a foole, I am more: in labors
more abundant: in stripes aboue measure:
in prisons more frequent: in
deaths oft.
24
Of the Iewes fiue times receiued
I note forty stripes saue one.
25
Thrice was I beaten with rods,
once was I stoned: thrice I suffered
shipwracke: a night and a day I haue
bene in the deepe.
26
In iourneying often, in perils of
waters, in perils of robbers, in perils
by my owne countreymen, in perils by
Pauls afflictions.
the heathen, in perils in the citie, in perils
in the wildernesse, in perils in the
sea, in perils among false brethren,
27
In wearinesse and painfulnesse,
in watchings often, in hunger ∧ thirst,
in fastings often, in cold and nakednes.
28
Besides those things that are
without, that which commeth vpon me
dayly, the care of all the Churches.
29
Who is weake, and I am not
weake? who is offended, and I burne
not?
30
If I must needes glory, I will
glory of the things which concerne
mine infirmities.
31
The God and Father of our Lord
Iesus Christ, which is blessed for euermore,
knoweth that I lie not.
32
In Damascus the gouernour
vnder Aretas the King, kept the citie
with a garison, desirous to apprehend
mee.
33
And through a window in a basket
was I let downe, by the wall, and
escaped his hands.
