Nejhua nemechtlajsojtla ica on tetlajsojtlalistli yejhuan Dios mechpialia. Ijcon quen se tlacatl quimaca ichpoch se telpochtli para nonamictia, nejhua no ijqui onemechtemacac para xmonamictican san ihuan Cristo.

Pero ninomojtia ica nemotlamachilis mechcajcayahuas quen on cohuatl ocajcayau Eva ican iistlacayohuan, niman xoc nenquitlajsojtlasquej Cristo ican nochi nemoyojlo. Nejhua, tej, ninomojtia pampa nemejhuamej semi cuajli nenquinseliaj on yejhuan quipatlaj on temachtijli itech ica Jesús, niman ijqui ocse tlamantic mechmachtiaj xquen tejhuamej.

Pero nejhua xnicnemilia ica on yejhuan nenquinseliaj quen sanoyej huejhueyixtoquej apóstoles más hueyi quimatij xquen nejhua. Masqui xmás hueli nitenojnotza, nicpia tlaixmachilistli ica Dios. Niman in nochipa yonemechititij ican nochi on tlajtlamach yejhuan yonicchiu.

Pero tla nenquinemiliaj ninemi loco, xnechcahuilican ma nemechnotza quen yacaj loco para no huelis achijtzin ninohueyitenehuas. 17 In tlen nemechijlijticaj xnemechijlia ican itlanahuatil toTeco, yej nemechijlia quen se loco, pampa ninohueyitenehua. 18 Niman pampa nemij miyequej yejhuan nohueyitenehuaj quen on tlalticpactlacamej yejhuan xquixmatij Dios quichihuaj, nejhua no ninohueyitenehuas. 19 Nemejhuamej nenquinemiliaj nentlamatquej, yejhua ica nenquimpialiaj ijyohuilistli on yejhuan locos. 20 Nemejhuamej yej nenquinmijyohuiliaj on yejhuan mechchihualtiaj xquintequichihuilican quen nentlanamactin yesquiaj.

Nicmati ica ijcon quen niquijtohua, caquisti quen niloco. Nejhua, tej, más sanoyej yonitequit xquen yejhuamej, más yonechmajmatinenquej xquen yejhuamej, más miyecpa yonechtzajtzacutinenquej, niman miyecpa nisiu catca para nimiquis. 24 Macuilpa onechmajmailijca on hebreos niman cada sepa onechhuitequej sempoajli huan majtlactli ipan chicnahui. 25 Yexpa onechhuihuitequej ican cojtli, niman sejpa onechtemojmotlaquej.

Paul and the False Apostles

11 I hope you will put up with(A) me in a little foolishness.(B) Yes, please put up with me! I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband,(C) to Christ, so that I might present you(D) as a pure virgin to him. But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning,(E) your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached,(F) or if you receive a different spirit(G) from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel(H) from the one you accepted, you put up with it(I) easily enough.

I do not think I am in the least inferior to those “super-apostles.”[a](J) I may indeed be untrained as a speaker,(K) but I do have knowledge.(L) We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way. Was it a sin(M) for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God(N) to you free of charge?(O) I robbed other churches by receiving support from them(P) so as to serve you. And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed.(Q) I have kept myself from being a burden to you(R) in any way, and will continue to do so. 10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me,(S) nobody in the regions of Achaia(T) will stop this boasting(U) of mine. 11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows(V) I do!(W)

12 And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about. 13 For such people are false apostles,(X) deceitful(Y) workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.(Z) 14 And no wonder, for Satan(AA) himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.(AB)

Paul Boasts About His Sufferings

16 I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool.(AC) But if you do, then tolerate me just as you would a fool, so that I may do a little boasting. 17 In this self-confident boasting I am not talking as the Lord would,(AD) but as a fool.(AE) 18 Since many are boasting in the way the world does,(AF) I too will boast.(AG) 19 You gladly put up with(AH) fools since you are so wise!(AI) 20 In fact, you even put up with(AJ) anyone who enslaves you(AK) or exploits you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs or slaps you in the face. 21 To my shame I admit that we were too weak(AL) for that!

Whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast about.(AM) 22 Are they Hebrews? So am I.(AN) Are they Israelites? So am I.(AO) Are they Abraham’s descendants? So am I.(AP) 23 Are they servants of Christ?(AQ) (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder,(AR) been in prison more frequently,(AS) been flogged more severely,(AT) and been exposed to death again and again.(AU) 24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes(AV) minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods,(AW) once I was pelted with stones,(AX) three times I was shipwrecked,(AY) I spent a night and a day in the open sea, 26 I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews,(AZ) in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city,(BA) in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers.(BB) 27 I have labored and toiled(BC) and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food;(BD) I have been cold and naked. 28 Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.(BE) 29 Who is weak, and I do not feel weak?(BF) Who is led into sin,(BG) and I do not inwardly burn?

30 If I must boast, I will boast(BH) of the things that show my weakness.(BI) 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever,(BJ) knows(BK) that I am not lying. 32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me.(BL) 33 But I was lowered in a basket from a window in the wall and slipped through his hands.(BM)
