2 Corinthians 11:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 The [a]truth of Christ is in me, that this rejoicing shall not be [b]shut up against me in the regions of Achaia.
11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
12 But what I do, that will I do, that I may cut away occasion from them which desire occasion, that they might be found like unto us in that wherein they [c]rejoice.

- 2 Corinthians 11:10 This is a form of an oath, as if he said, let me not be thought to have any truth in me.
- 2 Corinthians 11:10 Shall be always open to me.
- 2 Corinthians 11:12 Paul’s adversaries sought all occasions they could, to be equal to him. And therefore seeing they had rather eat up the Corinthians, than preach to them for nothing, they sought another occasion, to wit, to make Paul to take something: which thing if he had done, then hoped they by that means to be equal to him: for they made such a show of zeal and knowledge, and set it forth with such a glossing kind of eloquence, that some of them even despised Paul: but he showeth that all this is nothing but colors and painting.

New International Version
10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me,(A) nobody in the regions of Achaia(B) will stop this boasting(C) of mine. 11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows(D) I do!(E)
12 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.
