2 Corinthians 11:1-3

New Catholic Bible

Chapter 11

Promised to One Spouse. ¹ I hope that you will put up with a little of my foolishness. Please bear with me. ² For I am jealous of you with a godly jealousy, since I promised all of you to one spouse, to present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

³ However, I am afraid that, just as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts may be led astray from a singlehearted fidelity to Christ.
