I Am Jealous For You, For I Fear That You Are Being Corrupted By False Messengers

11 O-that you would bear-with me as to a little bit[a] of foolishness— but indeed, keep-bearing-with[b] me! For I am jealous-for[c] you with a jealousy[d] of [e] God. For I betrothed[f] you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ. But I am fearing that as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds[g] should somehow be corrupted[h] from sincerity[i] and purity for[j] Christ.
