2 Corinthians 11:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 [a]For if he that cometh, preacheth [b]another Jesus whom we have not preached: or if ye receive another spirit whom ye have not received: either another Gospel which ye have not received, ye might well have suffered him.
5 Verily I suppose that I was not inferior to the very chief Apostles.
6 [c]And though I be [d]rude in speaking, yet I am not so in knowledge, but among you we have been made manifest to the uttermost, in all things.

- 2 Corinthians 11:6 He refuteth the slanders of those Thrasoes. I grant, saith he, that I am not so eloquent an Orator, but yet they cannot take away the knowledge of the Gospel from me, whereof you have had good proof, and that every manner of way.
- 2 Corinthians 11:6 Paul lacked not the kind of eloquence which is meet for a man, and fit for the Gospel, but he willingly wanted that painted kind of speech, which too many nowadays hunt after and follow.
2 Corinthians 11:4-6
New International Version
4 For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached,(A) or if you receive a different spirit(B) from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel(C) from the one you accepted, you put up with it(D) easily enough.
5 I do not think I am in the least inferior to those “super-apostles.”[a](E) 6 I may indeed be untrained as a speaker,(F) but I do have knowledge.(G) We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
