2 Corinthians 11:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ No one in Achaia [^Csouthern Greece; 1:1] will stop me from ·bragging [boasting] about that. ·I say this with the truth of Christ in me [or By Christ’s truth in me! ^Ca strong vow or oath]. ¹¹ ·And why do I not depend on you [^LWhy]? Do you think it is because I do not love you? ·God knows that I love you [^LGod knows!].

¹² And I will continue doing what I am doing now, because I want to stop those people from having a reason to ·brag [boast]. They ·would like [are looking for an opportunity] to say that the work they ·brag [boast] about is ·the same as [equal to] ours.
