ESV

1	I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me!
2	I feel a divine jealousy for you, for I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
3	But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
4	For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.
5	I consider that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles.
6	Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not so in knowledge; indeed, in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.
7	Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached God's gospel to you free of charge?
8	I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you.
9	And when I was with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.
10	As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.
11	And why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
12	And what I do I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do.
13	For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
14	And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15	So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.
16	I repeat, let no one think me foolish. But even if you do, accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
17	What I am saying with this boastful confidence, I say not with the Lord's authority but as a fool.
18	Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast.
19	For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves!
20	For you bear it if someone makes slaves of you, or devours you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or strikes you in the face.
21	To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast of- I am speaking as a fool- I also dare to boast of that.
22	Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they offspring of Abraham? So am I.
23	Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one- I am talking like a madman- with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death.
24	Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one.
25	Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea;
26	on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers;
27	in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.
28	And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches.
29	Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant?
30	If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
31	The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.
32	At Damascus, the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of Damascus in order to seize me,
33	but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his hands.

NIV

1	I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness; but you are already doing that.
2	I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.
3	But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, 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, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.
5	But I do not think I am in the least inferior to those “super-apostles.”
6	I may not be a trained speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
7	Was it a sin for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God to you free of charge?
8	I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so as to serve you.
9	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. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.
10	As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, nobody in the regions of Achaia will stop this boasting of mine.
11	Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
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 men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
14	And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
15	It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
16	I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive 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, but as a fool.
18	Since many are boasting in the way the world does, I too will boast.
19	You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise!
20	In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or pushes himself forward or slaps you in the face.
21	To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that!
22	What anyone else dares to boast about–I am speaking as a fool–I also dare to boast about. Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abraham's descendants? So am I.
23	Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again.
24	Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
25	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,
26	I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers.
27	I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked.
28	Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.
29	Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn?
30	If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
31	The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever, knows 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.
33	But I was lowered in a basket from a window in the wall and slipped through his hands.

NLT

1	I hope you will put up with a little more of my foolishness. Please bear with me.
2	For I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. I promised you as a pure bride to one husband– Christ.
3	But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent.
4	You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.
5	But I don't consider myself inferior in any way to these “super apostles” who teach such things.
6	I may be unskilled as a speaker, but I'm not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every possible way.
7	Was I wrong when I humbled myself and honored you by preaching God's Good News to you without expecting anything in return?
8	I “robbed” other churches by accepting their contributions so I could serve you at no cost.
9	And when I was with you and didn't have enough to live on, I did not become a financial burden to anyone. For the brothers who came from Macedonia brought me all that I needed. I have never been a burden to you, and I never will be.
10	As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, no one in all of Greece will ever stop me from boasting about this.
11	Why? Because I don't love you? God knows that I do.
12	But I will continue doing what I have always done. This will undercut those who are looking for an opportunity to boast that their work is just like ours.
13	These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ.
14	But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15	So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve.
16	Again I say, don't think that I am a fool to talk like this. But even if you do, listen to me, as you would to a foolish person, while I also boast a little.
17	Such boasting is not from the Lord, but I am acting like a fool.
18	And since others boast about their human achievements, I will, too.
19	After all, you think you are so wise, but you enjoy putting up with fools!
20	You put up with it when someone enslaves you, takes everything you have, takes advantage of you, takes control of everything, and slaps you in the face.
21	I'm ashamed to say that we've been too “weak” to do that!But whatever they dare to boast about– I'm talking like a fool again– I dare to boast about it, too.
22	Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
23	Are they servants of Christ? I know I sound like a madman, but I have served him far more! I have worked harder, been put in prison more often, been whipped times without number, and faced death again and again.
24	Five different times the Jewish leaders gave me thirty-nine lashes.
25	Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent a whole night and a day adrift at sea.
26	I have traveled on many long journeys. I have faced danger from rivers and from robbers. I have faced danger from my own people, the Jews, as well as from the Gentiles. I have faced danger in the cities, in the deserts, and on the seas. And I have faced danger from men who claim to be believers but are not.
27	I have worked hard and long, enduring many sleepless nights. I have been hungry and thirsty and have often gone without food. I have shivered in the cold, without enough clothing to keep me warm.
28	Then, besides all this, I have the daily burden of my concern for all the churches.
29	Who is weak without my feeling that weakness? Who is led astray, and I do not burn with anger?
30	If I must boast, I would rather boast about the things that show how weak I am.
31	God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, who is worthy of eternal praise, knows I am not lying.
32	When I was in Damascus, the governor under King Aretas kept guards at the city gates to catch me.
33	I had to be lowered in a basket through a window in the city wall to escape from him.

KJV

1	Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
2	For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3	But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4	For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
5	For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
6	But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
7	Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
8	I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
9	And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
10	As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11	Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
12	But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
13	For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14	And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15	Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
16	I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
17	That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
18	Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
19	For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
20	For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
21	I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
22	Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
23	Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
24	Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
25	Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
26	In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27	In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
28	Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
29	Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
30	If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
31	The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
32	In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
33	And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
