- I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness; but you are already doing that.
- I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.
- But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
- For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.
- But I do not think I am in the least inferior to those "super-apostles."

- I may not be a trained speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
- Was it a sin for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God to you free of charge?
- I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so as to serve you.
- And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.
- As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, nobody in the regions of Achaia will stop this boasting of mine.

- Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
- And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about.
- For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
- And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
- It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
