Colossians 2:8, Colossians 2:8, Galatians 1:6, Galatians 1:6, Ephesians 4:14

4For 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.

Ephesians 3:4, Ephesians 3:4, 1 Corinthians 1:17, 2 Corinthians 4:2, 1 Corinthians 1:17

7Was 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?

2 Corinthians 12:13, 2 Corinthians 12:13, 1 Thessalonians 2:9, 1 Corinthians 4:10, 1 Corinthians 4:12

8I robbed other churches by accepting their support in order to serve you.

9And 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.

1 Thessalonians 2:6, 1 Thessalonians 2:9, 2 Thessalonians 3:8, 2 Thessalonians 3:9, 1 Thessalonians 2:6

10As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.

Romans 9:1, Romans 9:1, Acts 18:12, Romans 1:9, Acts 18:12

11Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!

2 Corinthians 12:15, 2 Corinthians 12:15, 2 Corinthians 7:3, 2 Corinthians 6:11, 2 Corinthians 6:12

1 Corinthians 9:12, 1 Corinthians 9:12, 2 Corinthians 11:18, 2 Corinthians 10:17, Job 23:13

13For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:1, 2 Corinthians 11:1, 2 Corinthians 12:6, 2 Corinthians 12:6, 2 Corinthians 11:19

17In this confident boasting of mine, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as a fool.

1 Corinthians 7:12, 1 Corinthians 7:12, Philippians 3:3, Philippians 3:6, 2 Corinthians 9:4

18Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I too will boast.

Jeremiah 9:23, Jeremiah 9:24, 1 Peter 1:24, 2 Corinthians 12:5, 2 Corinthians 12:6

19For you gladly tolerate fools, since you are so wise.

1 Corinthians 4:10, 1 Corinthians 4:10, 1 Corinthians 8:1, 1 Corinthians 10:15, 1 Corinthians 8:1

20In 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.

Galatians 2:4, Galatians 2:4, Galatians 5:1, Galatians 4:9, Galatians 4:3

21To 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.

22Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.

Philippians 3:5, Philippians 3:5, Romans 11:1, Romans 11:1, Romans 9:4

Acts 14:19, Acts 14:19, Acts 16:22, Acts 16:23, Acts 16:33

26In 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,

Acts 14:5, Acts 14:5, Acts 25:3, Acts 13:50, Acts 20:19

27in labor and toil and often without sleep, in hunger and thirst and often without food, in cold and exposure.

Philippians 4:12, 2 Corinthians 6:5, Philippians 4:12, 2 Corinthians 6:5, 1 Thessalonians 2:9
