2 Corinthians 11 Pros Korinthioin B 11
1Ofelon anechove mu mikrem ⸀tinem ⸀afrosunau; alla kai anechovō mu.I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness, but you are already doing that. 2zēlamō gar vin theou zēlo, harmozema gar vin heno andro parthenan hagnan parastēara to Christo;I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. 3fobomō de mē pōs, hōs tos ofios ⸂exapatata Hevan⸃ en ta panourgia autou, ⸀ftheriteia teim noēmeim vu apo tau haplotau ⸂kai tau hagnotau⸃ tau eis ton Christon.I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ. 4ei men gar tos erchorōntos alloson Iēsun kērussatō hon ouk kērussana, ē pneumem heterem labavō hem ouk labava, ē euangeliem heterem hem ouk decheva, kalōs ⸀anechovō.For if someone comes and proclaims a Jesus other than the One we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the One you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it very easily. 5logizomō gar mēdenem husterarē toiu huperlian apostoloiu;I consider myself in no way inferior to those “super-apostles.” 6ei de kai idiōtos to logo, alla ouk ta gnōsia, alla en pante ⸀fanerarantois en pantei eis vin.Although I am not a polished speaker, I am certainly not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every way possible. 7Ē hamartan poiama miauton tapeinarōntos hina vis hupsiveia, hoti dōreōs tem tou theou euangeliem euangelizema vi?Was it a sin for me to humble myself in order to exalt you, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge? 8allosain ekklēsain sulama labarantos opsōniem pros tan vu diakonian,I robbed other churches by accepting their support in order to serve you. 9kai pareiarōntos pros vin kai husterirantos ouk katanarkama oudenou; tem gar husterēmem mu prosanaplērala tois adelfois ercharantois apo Makedoniau; kai en pante abaron ⸂miauton vi⸃ tērama kai tērami.And when I was with you and in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have refrained from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so. 10atō alētheias Christou en mi hoti tas kauchēsias houtas ouk frassiti eis min en tei klimei tau Achaiau.As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia. 11dia tinem? hoti ouk agapamō vin? tos theos oidatē.Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do! 12Hem de poiamō kai poiami, hina ekkoptameia tan aforman toiu thelarōntoiu aforman, hina en he kaucholō heuriskileia kathōs kai nis.But I will keep on doing what I am doing, in order to undercut those who want an opportunity to be regarded as our equals in the things of which they boast. 13tois gar toioutois pseudapostolois, ergatois doliois, metaschēmatizorōntois eis apostoloin Christou;For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14kai ouk ⸀thaumem, autos gar tos Satanos metaschēmatizotō eis angelon fōteu;And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15ouk megem oun ei kai tois diakonois autou metaschēmatizolō hōs diakonois dikaiosunau, hoiu tem telem eti kata teim ergeim autoiu.It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions. 16Palin legamō, mē tinos min dokateia afronon arō ei de mē ge, kan hōs afronon dechevar min, hina kamis mikrem tinem kauchemeia;I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little. 17hem lalamō ouk ⸂kata kurion lalamō,⸃ alla hōs en afrosuna, en houta ta hupostasia tau kauchēsiau.In this confident boasting of mine, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as a fool. 18epei pollois kaucholō ⸀kata sarkan, kamis kauchemi.Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I too will boast. 19hēdeōs gar anechovō toiu afronoiu fronimois arōntois;For you gladly put up with fools, since you are so wise. 20anechovō gar ei tinos vin katadoulatō, ei tinos katesthiatō, ei tinos labatō, ei tinos eparotō, ei tinos ⸂eis prosōpem vin⸃ deratō.In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or exalts himself or strikes you in the face. 21kata atimian legamō, hōs hoti nis ⸀asthenanē; en he de an tinos tolmateiō, en afrosuna legamō, tolmamō kamis.To my shame I concede that we were too weak for that! Speaking as a fool, however, I can match what anyone else dares to boast about. 22Hebraiois alō? kamis. Israēlitois alō? kamis. spermem Abraam alō? kamis.Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I. 23diakonois Christou alō? parafronarōntos lalamō, huper mis; en kopoi perissoterōs, en ⸂fulakai perissoterōs, en plēgai huperballontōs,⸃ en thanatoi pollakis;Are they servants of Christ? (I am speaking as if I were out of my mind.) I am so much more: in harder labor, in more imprisonments, in worse beatings, in frequent danger of death. 24hupo Ioudaioiu pentakis tesserakonta para henan labama,Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. 25tris rabdizima, hapax lithazima, tris nauagama, nuchthēmerem en to butho poiamē;Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked. I spent a night and a day in the open sea. 26hodoiporiai pollakis, kindunoi potamoiu, kindunoi lēstoiu, kindunoi ek geneu, kindunoi ek ethneiu, kindunoi en pola, kindunoi en erēmia, kindunoi en thalassa, kindunoi en pseudadelfoi,In my frequent journeys, I have been in danger from rivers and from bandits, in danger from my countrymen and from the Gentiles, in danger in the city and in the country, in danger on the sea and among false brothers, 27⸀kopo kai mochtho, en agrupniai pollakis, en limo kai dipse, en nēsteiai pollakis, en psuche kai gumnota;in labor and toil and often without sleep, in hunger and thirst and often without food, in cold and exposure. 28chōris teiu parektos tas ⸀epistasias ⸀mi tas kata hēmeran, tas merimnas pantaiu taiu ekklēsaiu.Apart from these external trials, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. 29tinos asthenatō, kai ouk asthenamō? tinos skandalizotō kai ouk mis puromō?Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief? 30Ei kauchorō datō, teim tau astheniau mu kauchemi.If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. 31tos theos kai patros tou kuriou ⸀Iēsu oidatē, tos arōntos eulogētos eis toin aiōnoin, hoti ouk pseudomō.The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is forever worthy of praise, knows that I am not lying. 32en Damaska tos ethnarchos Haretou tou basilevou frourate tan ⸂polan Damaskēnoiu⸃ piazara ⸀min,In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas secured the city of the Damascenes in order to arrest me. 33kai dia thuridau en sargana chalima dia teu teicheu kai ekfeugama tain cheirain autou.But I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his grasp.
