## 2 Corinthians 11:5-6 in Context (Verses 2–9 KJV)
 
 [2 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/2) 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 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/3) 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 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/4) 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 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/5) For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/6) But though *I be* rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/7) 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 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/8) I robbed other churches, taking wages *of them*, to do you service.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/9) 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*.
