Si Pablo at ang mga Nagkukunwaring Apostol
1Ipagpaumanhin ninyo kung ngayon ay magsalita akong tulad ng isang hangal. 2Nakadarama ako ng maka-diyos na pagseselos sa inyo, sapagkat tulad kayo ng isang dalagang birhen na ipinangako kong ipapakasal sa isang lalaki, si Kristo. 3Ngunit nag-aalala akong baka malinlang kayo, tulad ni Eva na nalinlang ng ahas, at mawala ang inyong tapat at taos-pusong hangaring sumunod kay Kristo. 4Sapagkat madali kayong napapaniwala ng kahit sinong dumarating diyan na nangangaral ng ibang Hesus kaysa sa aming ipinangaral sa inyo. At tinatanggap ninyo ang ibang uri ng espiritu kaysa sa Espiritung tinanggap na ninyo. Pinapakinggan din ninyo ang magandang balita na iba kaysa sa pinaniwalaan na ninyo.
5Sa tingin ko, hindi naman ako nahuhuli sa mga “magagaling” na mga apostol na ʼyan. 6Maaaring hindi ako magaling magsalita ngunit hindi naman nagkukulang ng kaalaman. At iyan ay naipakita namin sa inyo sa lahat ng aming pagtuturo.
7Hindi ako humingi ng bayad nang ipangaral ko sa inyo ang Magandang Balita mula sa Diyos, kundi nagtrabaho ako upang matulungan ko kayo sa inyong buhay espirituwal. Masamá ba ang ginawa kong ito? 8Tumanggap ako ng tulong mula sa ibang iglesya noong akoʼy naglilingkod sa inyo. Parang ninakawan ko sila, matulungan lamang kayo. 9At noong kinapos ako sa aking mga pangangailangan habang kasama ninyo, hindi ako naging pabigat kaninuman sa inyo. Ang ating mga kapatid na dumating mula sa Macedonia ang nagbigay ng aking mga pangangailangan. Iniwasan kong maging pabigat sa inyo at iyan ang palagi kong gagawin. 10Hindi ako titigil na ipagmamalaki ito sa lahat ng lugar sa Acaya. Totoo ang sinasabi kong ito dahil nasa akin ang katotohanan ni Kristo. 11Bakit? Dahil ba hindi ko kayo mahal? Alam ng Diyos na mahal ko kayo!
12Ngunit patuloy kong paninindigan ang sinasabi ko ngayon na hindi ako hihingi ng tulong sa inyo, upang hindi masabi ng mga nagbabalak maging apostol na silaʼy katulad namin kung maglingkod. 13Sapagkat ang mga taong iyan ay hindi naman mga totoong apostol, kundi mga manlilinlang at nagpapanggap lang na mga apostol ni Kristo. 14At hindi naman iyan nakapagtataka, dahil maging si Satanas ay nagpapanggap bilang anghel ng Diyos na nagbibigay-liwanag. 15Kaya hindi rin nakapagtatakang ang kanyang mga alagad ay magkunwari ding mga alagad ng katuwiran. Ang kahihinatnan nila sa bandang huli ay parusang ayon sa kanilang mga gawa.
Ang mga Paghihirap ni Pablo bilang Apostol
16Inuulit ko, huwag ninyong isiping isa akong hangal. Ngunit kung ganyan ang tingin ninyo sa akin, hindi na bale, basta hayaan ninyo akong magmalaki nang kahit kaunti. 17Kung sa bagay, kung ipagmamalaki ko ang aking sarili, hindi ito galing sa Panginoon, at para akong hangal. 18Subalit dahil sa marami diyan ang nagmamalaki tulad ng mga taong makamundo, magmamalaki rin ako. 19Tuwang-tuwa pa kayo na nagtiyatiyaga sa mga hangal. Ang tatalino talaga ninyo! 20Sa katunayan, pinagtiyatiyagaan din ninyong alipinin kayo, agawan ng mga ari-arian, pagsamantalahan, pagmataasan, at hamakin. 21Nakakahiya mang amining mahihina kami, ngunit hindi namin kayang gawin ang mga iyan!
Kung may magmamalaki diyan, magmamalaki rin ako, kahit na magmukha akong hangal sa sinasabi ko. 22Ipinagmamalaki ba nilang silaʼy mga Hudyo, mga Israelita, at kabilang sa lahi ni Abraham? Ako rin! 23Sila baʼy mga lingkod ni Kristo? Alam kong para na akong baliw sa sinasabi ko, ngunit bilang lingkod rin ni Kristo, mas higit pa ako kaysa sa kanila! Mas higit akong nagpakahirap; mas maraming beses akong nakulong, nahagupit ng mas malala pa, at paulit-ulit na nalagay sa bingit ng kamatayan. 24Limang beses akong tumanggap ng tatlumpuʼt siyam na hagupit sa kapwa ko mga Hudyo. 25Tatlong beses akong pinaghahampas ng mga pamalo; isang beses na pinagbabato. Tatlong beses kong naranasang lumubog ang sinasakyang barko, at minsaʼy nagpalutang-lutang ako sa dagat ng isang araw at gabi. 26Madalas akong maglakbay, at parating nalalagay sa mga panganib: sa pagtawid sa mga ilog, sa mga tulisan, sa kapwa ko mga Hudyo, sa mga Hentil, sa mga lungsod, sa mga ilang, sa dagat, at sa mga taong nagpapanggap na mga kapatid.
27Naranasan ko rin ang sobrang hirap at pagod, at kawalan ng tulog. Naranasan ko ang magutom, mauhaw, kadalasaʼy walang makain, at naranasan kong ginawin dahil sa kakulangan ng maisusuot. 28Maliban sa iba pang mga karanasan na hindi ko nabanggit, inaalala ko pa araw-araw ang kalagayan ng lahat na iglesya. 29Kung may nanghihina, nalulungkot ako. At kung may nagkakasala, naghihirap ang kalooban ko.
30Kung kailangan kong magmalaki, ang ipagmamalaki ko ay ang aking mga kahinaan. 31Hindi ako nagsisinungaling, at alam iyan ng Diyos at Ama ng ating Panginoong Hesus. Purihin siya magpakailanman! 32Noong akoʼy nasa Damasco, pinabantayan ng gobernador na nasa ilalim ni Haring Aretas ang lungsod upang dakpin ako. 33Ngunit inilagay ako sa isang tiklis at ibinaba sa isang bintana sa pader ng lungsod, kaya nakatakas ako.

2 Corinthians 11
11
1 I WISH you would bear with me while I indulge in a little [so-called] foolishness. Do bear with me!
2 For I am zealous for you with a godly eagerness and a divine jealousy, for I have betrothed you to one Husband, to present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. [Hos. 2:19, 20.]
3 But [now] I am fearful, lest that even as the serpent beguiled Eve by his cunning, so your minds may be corrupted and seduced from wholehearted and sincere and pure devotion to Christ. [Gen. 3:4.]
4 For [you seem readily to endure it] if a man comes and preaches another Jesus than the One we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the [Spirit] you [once] received or a different gospel from the one you [then] received and welcomed; you tolerate [all that] well enough!
5 Yet I consider myself as in no way inferior to these [precious] extra-super [false] apostles.
6 But even if [I am] unskilled in speaking, yet [I am] not [unskilled] in knowledge [I know what I am talking about]; we have made this evident to you in all things.
7 But did I perhaps make a mistake and do you a wrong in debasing and cheapening myself so that you might be exalted and enriched in dignity and honor and happiness by preaching God's Gospel without expense to you?
8 Other churches I have robbed by accepting [more than their share of] support for my ministry [from them in order] to serve you.
9 And when I was with you and ran short financially, I did not burden any [of you], for what I lacked was abundantly made up by the brethren who came from Macedonia. So I kept myself from being burdensome to you in any way, and will continue to keep [myself from being so].
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, this my boast [of independence] shall not be debarred (silenced or checked) in the regions of Achaia (most of Greece).
11 And why? Because I do not love you [do not have a preference for you, wish you well, and regard your welfare]? God perceives and knows that I do!
12 But what I do, I will continue to do, [for I am determined to maintain this independence] in order to cut off the claim of those who would like [to find an occasion and incentive] to claim that in their boasted [mission] they work on the same terms that we do.
13 For such men are false apostles [spurious, counterfeits], deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles (special messengers) of Christ (the Messiah).
14 And it is no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light;
15 So it is not surprising if his servants also masquerade as ministers of righteousness. [But] their end will correspond with their deeds.
16 I repeat then, let no one think I have lost my wits; but even if you do, then bear with a witless man, so that I too may boast a little.
17 What I say by way of this confident boasting, I say not with the Lord's authority [by inspiration] but, as it were, in pure witlessness.
18 [For] since many boast of worldly things and according to the flesh, I will glory (boast) also.
19 For you readily and gladly bear with the foolish, since you are so smart and wise yourselves!
20 For you endure it if a man assumes control of your souls and makes slaves of you, or devours [your substance, spends your money] and preys upon you, or deceives and takes advantage of you, or is arrogant and puts on airs, or strikes you in the face.
21 To my discredit, I must say, we have shown ourselves too weak [for you to show such tolerance of us and for us to do strong, courageous things like that to you]! But in whatever any person is bold and dares [to boast]–mind you, I am speaking in this foolish (witless) way–I also am bold and dare [to boast].
22 They are Hebrews? So am I! They are Israelites? So am I! They are descendants of Abraham? So am I!
23 Are they [ministering] servants of Christ (the Messiah)? I am talking like one beside himself, [but] I am more, with far more extensive and abundant labors, with far more imprisonments, [beaten] with countless stripes, and frequently [at the point of] death.
24 Five times I received from [the hands of] the Jews forty [lashes all] but one; [Deut. 25:3.]
25 Three times I have been beaten with rods; once I was stoned. Three times I have been aboard a ship wrecked at sea; a [whole] night and a day I have spent [adrift] on the deep;
26 Many times on journeys, [exposed to] perils from rivers, perils from bandits, perils from [my own] nation, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the desert places, perils in the sea, perils from those posing as believers [but destitute of Christian knowledge and piety];
27 In toil and hardship, watching often [through sleepless nights], in hunger and thirst, frequently driven to fasting by want, in cold and exposure and lack of clothing.
28 And besides those things that are without, there is the daily [inescapable pressure] of my care and anxiety for all the churches!
29 Who is weak, and I do not feel [his] weakness? Who is made to stumble and fall and have his faith hurt, and I am not on fire [with sorrow or indignation]?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that [show] my infirmity [of the things by which I am made weak and contemptible in the eyes of my opponents].
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ knows, He Who is blessed and to be praised forevermore, that I do not lie.
32 In Damascus, the city governor acting under King Aretas guarded the city of Damascus [on purpose] to arrest me,
33 And I was [actually] let down in a [rope] basket or hamper through a window (a small door) in the wall, and I escaped through his fingers.
