II CORINTHIANS

II Corinthians 11

1Would that ye could bear with me in a little folly! and indeed ye do bear with me.
1 Corinthians 1:21, 2 Corinthians 11:4, 1 Corinthians 1:21, 2 Corinthians 11:4, 2 Corinthians 11:21
2For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy; for I espoused you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ;
Hosea 2:19, Hosea 2:20, Hosea 2:19, Hosea 2:20, Ephesians 5:26
3but I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve by his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from single-heartedness toward Christ.
Colossians 2:8, Colossians 2:8, Galatians 1:6, Galatians 1:6, Ephesians 4:14
4For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye did not receive, or another gospel, which ye did not accept, well might ye bear with it.
Galatians 1:6, Galatians 1:8, Galatians 1:6, Galatians 1:8, Ephesians 4:4
5For I suppose that I am in no respect behind the very foremost apostles.
2 Corinthians 12:11, 2 Corinthians 12:12, 2 Corinthians 12:11, 2 Corinthians 12:12, 1 Corinthians 15:10
6And though I am rude in speech, yet I am not in knowledge; but this did we in every respect manifest to you in all things.
Ephesians 3:4, Ephesians 3:4, 1 Corinthians 1:17, 2 Corinthians 4:2, 1 Corinthians 1:17
7Did I commit an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God without 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, taking wages of them, in order to do you service;
Philippians 4:18, Philippians 4:14, Philippians 4:16, 2 Corinthians 11:9, Philippians 4:18
9and when I was present with you, and in want, I was a charge to no one; (for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied my wants;) and in every thing I kept myself and will keep myself from being burdensome to you.
1 Thessalonians 2:6, 1 Thessalonians 2:9, 2 Thessalonians 3:8, 2 Thessalonians 3:9, 1 Thessalonians 2:6
10As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting shall not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia.
Romans 9:1, Romans 9:1, Acts 18:12, Romans 1:9, Acts 18:12
11Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth!
2 Corinthians 12:15, 2 Corinthians 12:15, 2 Corinthians 7:3, 2 Corinthians 6:11, 2 Corinthians 6:12
12But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off occasion from those who wish for an occasion, in order that in the matter of which they boast they may be found even as we.
1 Corinthians 9:12, 1 Corinthians 9:12, 2 Corinthians 11:18, 2 Corinthians 10:17, Job 23:13
13For such are false apostles, deceitful workmen, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
Revelation 2:2, Galatians 1:7, Revelation 2:2, Galatians 1:7, Philippians 3:2
14And no wonder; for even Satan transformeth himself into an angel of light.
Galatians 1:8, Galatians 1:8, 2 Corinthians 2:11, 2 Corinthians 2:11, 2 Corinthians 11:3
15It is no great thing, then, if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Philippians 3:19, Philippians 3:19, Revelation 9:11, Revelation 9:11, 2 Corinthians 3:9
16I say again, let no one suppose me a fool; if otherwise, yet even as a fool receive me, that I too may boast myself a little.
2 Corinthians 11:1, 2 Corinthians 11:1, 2 Corinthians 12:6, 2 Corinthians 12:6, 2 Corinthians 11:19
17What I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as it were in folly, in this confidence of boasting.
1 Corinthians 7:12, 1 Corinthians 7:12, Philippians 3:3, Philippians 3:6, 2 Corinthians 9:4
18Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will boast also.
Jeremiah 9:23, Jeremiah 9:24, 1 Peter 1:24, 2 Corinthians 12:5, 2 Corinthians 12:6
19For ye bear with fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise;
1 Corinthians 4:10, 1 Corinthians 4:10, 1 Corinthians 8:1, 1 Corinthians 10:15, 1 Corinthians 8:1
20for ye bear with it, if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one smites you on the face.
Galatians 2:4, Galatians 2:4, Galatians 5:1, Galatians 4:9, Galatians 4:3
21I say it to my reproach, that we were weak; but in whatever any one is bold, (I speak in folly,) I am bold also.
2 Corinthians 10:10, 2 Corinthians 10:10, 2 Corinthians 11:17, 2 Corinthians 10:1, 2 Corinthians 10:2
22Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abram’s offspring? So am I.
Philippians 3:5, Philippians 3:5, Romans 11:1, Romans 11:1, Romans 9:4
23Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as beside myself,) I am more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often;
2 Corinthians 6:4, 2 Corinthians 6:5, 2 Corinthians 6:4, 2 Corinthians 6:5, 2 Corinthians 3:6
24of the Jews five times I received forty stripes save one;
Mark 13:9, Mark 13:9, Deuteronomy 25:2, Deuteronomy 25:3, Deuteronomy 25:2
25thrice I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have spent in the deep;
Acts 14:19, Acts 14:19, Acts 16:22, Acts 16:23, Acts 16:33
26by journeyings often; by perils of rivers, by perils of robbers, by perils from my countrymen, by perils from the heathen, by perils in the city, by perils in the wilderness, by perils in the sea, by perils among false brethren;
Acts 14:5, Acts 14:5, Acts 25:3, Acts 13:50, Acts 20:19
27by weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
Philippians 4:12, 2 Corinthians 6:5, Philippians 4:12, 2 Corinthians 6:5, 1 Thessalonians 2:9
28Besides the other troubles, there is that which presseth upon me daily, the anxiety for all the churches.
Romans 15:16, 1 Corinthians 7:17, Romans 15:16, 1 Corinthians 7:17, Acts 20:18
29Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is in danger of stumbling, and I do not burn?
1 Corinthians 9:22, 1 Corinthians 8:13, 1 Corinthians 9:22, 1 Corinthians 8:13, Galatians 4:8
30If I must boast, I will boast of the things which belong to my weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:5, 2 Corinthians 12:11, 1 Corinthians 2:3, Jeremiah 9:23, Jeremiah 9:24
31The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I am not lying.
Romans 9:5, Ephesians 1:3, Romans 9:5, Ephesians 1:3, Colossians 1:3
32In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept guard over the city of the Damascenes, in order to apprehend me;
2 Corinthians 11:26, Acts 9:24, Acts 9:25, 2 Corinthians 11:26, Acts 9:24
33and through a window I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
