2 Corinthians 11:3-5
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
3 But I am fearing that as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds[a] should somehow be corrupted[b] from sincerity[c] and purity for[d] Christ. 4 For indeed if the one coming proclaims another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or you receive a different spirit which you did not receive, or a different good-news which you did not accept— you bear-with him nicely!
For I Come Short of No Other Apostle, Especially In Knowledge
5 For I think that I have in no way come-short-of [e] the superlative[f] apostles.

2 Corinthians 11:3-5
New International Version
3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning,(A) your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4 For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached,(B) or if you receive a different spirit(C) from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel(D) from the one you accepted, you put up with it(E) easily enough.
5 I do not think I am in the least inferior to those “super-apostles.”[a](F)
