2 Corinthians 11:1-3

Lexham English Bible

Paul Defends His Apostleship

11 I wish that you would put up with me in something a little foolish^[a]—but indeed you are putting up with me. ² For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy, because I promised you in marriage to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. ³ But I am afraid lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds may be led astray from the sincerity and the purity of devotion to Christ.
