2 Corinthians 11:18-20
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
I Also Can Boast In My Heritage And My Service For Christ
18 Since many are boasting according-to the flesh, I also will boast! 19 For with-pleasure you bear-with the unwise[a], being wise. 20 For you bear-with it if anyone enslaves[b] you, if anyone devours[c] you, if anyone takes you, if anyone lifts-up[d] himself, if anyone beats[e] you in the face.
