1 I wish you would bear with me in a little ^pfoolishness. Do bear with me! 2 For I feel a ^qdivine jealousy for you, since I ^rbetrothed you to one husband, ^sto present you as a pure virgin to Christ. 3 But I am afraid that ^tas ^uthe serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, ^vyour thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4 For ^wif someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you ^xreceived, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough. 5 Indeed, I consider that ^yI am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles. 6 Even if I am unskilled ^zin speaking, I am not so in knowledge; indeed, in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.
