00:00.000 --> 00:07.340
Chapter 11 Would to God ye could bear with
me a little in my folly, and indeed bear

00:07.340 --> 00:07.780
with me.

00:08.400 --> 00:11.240
For I am jealous over you with godly
jealousy.

00:11.940 --> 00:17.360
For I have espoused you to one husband,
that I may present you as a chaste virgin

00:17.360 --> 00:18.180
to Christ.

00:19.400 --> 00:25.140
But I fear, lest by any means,
as the serpent beguiled Eve through his

00:25.140 --> 00:30.240
subtlety, so your minds should be
corrupted from the simplicity that is in

00:30.240 --> 00:30.660
Christ.

00:31.660 --> 00:36.820
For if he that cometh preacheth another
Jesus, whom we have not preached,

00:37.180 --> 00:42.500
or if ye receive another spirit,
which ye have not received, or another

00:42.500 --> 00:46.960
gospel, which ye have not accepted,
ye might well bear with him.

00:47.960 --> 00:52.400
For I suppose I was not a wit behind the
very chiefest apostles.

00:53.260 --> 00:58.640
But though I be rude in speech,
yet not in knowledge, but we have been

00:58.640 --> 01:02.260
truly made manifest among you in all
things.

01:03.120 --> 01:07.840
Have I committed an offence in abasing
myself, that ye might be exalted,

01:08.240 --> 01:11.360
because I have preached to you the gospel
of God freely?

01:12.100 --> 01:17.200
I robbed other churches, taking wages of
them, to do you service.

01:17.900 --> 01:22.700
And when I was present with you and
wanted, I was chargeable to no man.

01:23.340 --> 01:27.740
For that which was lacking to me,
the brethren which came from Macedonia

01:27.740 --> 01:28.220
supplied.

01:28.840 --> 01:34.820
And in all things I have kept myself from
being burdensome unto you, and so will I

01:34.820 --> 01:35.480
keep myself.

01:36.320 --> 01:41.960
As the truth of Christ is in me,
no man shall stop me of this boasting in

01:41.960 --> 01:43.320
the regions of Achaia.

01:44.120 --> 01:48.140
Wherefore, because I love you not,
God knoweth.

01:48.720 --> 01:53.900
But what I do, that I will do,
that I may cut off occasion from them

01:53.900 --> 01:55.420
which desire occasion.

01:56.200 --> 02:00.020
That wherein they glory, they may be found
even as we.

02:00.700 --> 02:06.500
For such are false apostles, deceitful
workers, transforming themselves into the

02:06.500 --> 02:07.560
apostles of Christ.

02:08.340 --> 02:09.420
And no marvel!

02:10.100 --> 02:13.260
For Satan himself is transformed into an
angel of light.

02:13.980 --> 02:19.060
Therefore it is no great thing,
if his ministers also be transformed as

02:19.060 --> 02:23.280
the ministers of righteousness,
whose end shall be according to their

02:23.280 --> 02:23.780
works.

02:24.680 --> 02:28.360
I say again, let no man think me a fool.

02:29.080 --> 02:34.120
If otherwise, yet as a fool receive me,
that I may boast myself a little.

02:34.900 --> 02:40.120
That which I speak, I speak it not after
the Lord, but as it were foolishly,

02:40.400 --> 02:42.220
in this confidence of boasting.

02:43.160 --> 02:46.880
Seeing that many glory after the flesh,
I will glory also.

02:47.620 --> 02:51.960
For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye
yourselves are wise.

02:52.560 --> 02:58.420
For ye suffer, if a man bring you into
bondage, if a man devour you, if a man

02:58.420 --> 03:03.340
take of you, if a man exalt himself,
if a man smite you on the face.

03:04.040 --> 03:07.800
I speak as concerning reproach,
as though we had been weak.

03:08.640 --> 03:14.860
Howbeit where into ever any is bold,
I speak foolishly, I am bold also.

03:15.720 --> 03:16.660
Are they Hebrews?

03:17.180 --> 03:18.200
So am I.

03:18.520 --> 03:19.820
Are they Israelites?

03:20.560 --> 03:21.680
So am I.

03:22.140 --> 03:24.080
Are they the seed of Abraham?

03:24.980 --> 03:26.120
So am I.

03:26.820 --> 03:28.580
Are they ministers of Christ?

03:29.120 --> 03:30.540
I speak as a fool.

03:30.980 --> 03:37.600
I am more, in labors more abundant,
in stripes above measure, in prisons more

03:37.600 --> 03:39.740
frequent, in deaths oft.

03:40.500 --> 03:44.360
Of the Jews five times received I forty
stripes save one.

03:45.040 --> 03:50.820
Thrice was I beaten with rods,
once was I stoned, thrice I suffered

03:50.820 --> 03:55.000
shipwreck, a night and a day I have been
in the deep.

03:55.800 --> 04:01.820
In journeyings often in perils of waters,
in perils of robbers, in perils by mine

04:01.820 --> 04:07.700
own countrymen, in perils by the heathen,
in perils in the city, in perils in the

04:07.700 --> 04:12.200
wilderness, in perils in the sea,
in perils among false brethren,

04:12.660 --> 04:18.700
in weariness and painfulness, in watchings
often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings

04:18.700 --> 04:21.560
often, in cold and nakedness.

04:22.120 --> 04:27.320
Beside those things that are without,
that which cometh upon me daily,

04:27.660 --> 04:29.520
the care of all the churches.

04:30.760 --> 04:33.780
Who is weak, and I am not weak?

04:34.240 --> 04:37.040
Who is offended, and I burn not?

04:37.740 --> 04:43.580
If I must need glory, I will glory of the
things which concern mine infirmities.

04:44.320 --> 04:49.520
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, which is blessed for evermore,

04:49.520 --> 04:51.860
knoweth that I lie not.

04:52.440 --> 04:57.420
In Damascus the governor under Aretas,
the king, kept the city of the Damascenes

04:57.420 --> 05:00.240
with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me.

05:00.740 --> 05:05.900
And through a window, in a basket,
I was let down by the wall, and escaped

05:05.900 --> 05:06.500
his hands.
