Chap. XI.
He reasoneth the matter vvith the Corinthians, vvhy they should preferre the false Apostles
before him. 16 And because they giue them leaue to bragge and commend
them selues, and to abuse them so miserably, he trusteth they vvil also giue him
the hearing: 21 and so he beginneth, and first shevving him self in al Iudaical
respectes (vvherein onely stood al their boasting) to be as they are, he addeth
aftervvard such a long roll of his sufferings for Christ, as is incomparable.
-- --
1 Vvould God you could beare some litle of
my folly: but do ye also support me:
2 for I
emulate you vvith the emulation of God.
For I haue note despoused you to one man, to
present you a chaste virgin vnto Christ. note
3 But I feare lest, as the serpent seduced Eue
by his subteltie, so your senses may be corrupted, & fall09Q1190 from
the simplicitie that is in Christ.
4 For if he that note commeth,
preache an other Christ vvh&obar; we haue not preached, or you
receiue an other spirit vvhom you haue not receiued: or an
other Gospel vvhich you haue not receiued: you might vvel
suffer it.
5 For I suppose that I haue done nothing lesse then
the great Apostles.
6 For although09Q1191 rude in speache, yet not
in knovvledge. but in al things we are made manifest to you.
7 Or did I commit a sinne, humbling my self, that you might
be exalted? because I eu&abar;gelized vnto you the Gospel of God
gratis?
8 Other churches I spoiled, taking a stipend, for your
ministerie.
9 And vvhen I vvas vvith you, and had neede, I
vvas burdenous to none: for that vvhich I vvanted, the
brethren supplied that came from Macedonia: & in al things
I haue kept my self vvithout burden to you, and vvil keepe.
10 The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shal not
be infringed tovvard me in the countries of Achaia.
11 Vvherfore?
because I loue you not? God doth knovv.
12 But that
vvhich I doe, I vvil also doe, that I may cut avvay the occasion
of them that desire occasion: that, in that vvhich they
glorie, they may be found euen like vs.
13 For such false apostles
are note craftie vvorkers, tr&abar;sfiguring them selues into Apostles
of Christ.
14 And no maruel: for Satan him self transfigureth
him self into an Angel of light.
15 It is no great
matter therfore if his ministers be tr&abar;sfigured as the ministers
of iustice: vvhose ende shal be according to their vvorkes.
16 Againe I say, (let no man thinke me to be foolish: othervvise
take me as foolish, that I also may glorie a litle,)
17 that vvhich I speake, I speake not according to God, but
as it vvere in foolishnes, in this substance of glorying.
18 Because
many glorie according to the flesh, I also vvil glorie.
19 For you do gladly suffer the foolish: vvhereas your
selues are vvise. note
20 For you suffer if a man bring you into
seruitude, if a man deuoure, if a man take, if a man be extolled,
if a man strike you on the face.
21 I speake according
-- --
to dishonour, as though vve had been vveake in this part.
Vvherein any man dare (I speake folishly) I dare also.
22 noteThey are Hebrevves: and I. They are Israëlites: and I.
They are the seede of Abraham: and I.
23 They are the ministers
of Christ: and I. (I speake as one scarse vvise) more I:
in many moe labours, in prisons more aboundantly, in stripes
aboue measure, in deathes often.
24 Of the Ievves fiue times,
did I receiue note fourtie, sauing one.
25 Thrise vvas I beaten
note vvith roddes, note once I vvas stoned, thrise I suffred note shipvvracke,
night and day haue I been in the depth of the sea,
26 in iourneying often, perils of vvaters, perils of theeues, perils
of my nation, perils of Gentiles, perils in the citie, perils
in the wildernes, perils in the sea, perils among false brethren,
27 in labour and miserie, in much vvatchings, in hunger and
thirst, in fastings often, in colde and nakednes,
28 beside those
things which are outwardly: my daily note instance, the carefulnes
of al churches.
29 Vvho is vveake, and I am not vveake?
vvho is scandalized, and I note am not burnt?
30 If I must glorie:
I vvil glorie of the things that concerne my infirmitie.
31 The
God and Father of our Lord Iesvs Christ, vvho is blessed
for euer, knovveth that I lie not.
32 noteAt Damascus the Gouernour
of the nation vnder Aretas the king, kept the citie of
the Damascenes, for to apprehend me:
33 and through a
vvindovv in a basket vvas I let dovvne by the vvall, and so
escaped his handes.
