For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ.

As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

Corinthians 2 11:12

But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

Corinthians 2 11:13

For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

Corinthians 2 11:14

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Corinthians 2 11:15

Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

That which I speak, I speak [it] not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

Corinthians 2 11:18

Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

Corinthians 2 11:19

For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye [yourselves] are wise.

Corinthians 2 11:20

For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour [you], if a man take [of you], if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

Corinthians 2 11:26

[In] journeyings often, [in] perils of waters, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils by [mine own] countrymen, [in] perils by the heathen, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren;

Corinthians 2 11:27

In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

Corinthians 2 11:29
