11 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

16I 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. Paul's Sufferings as an Apostle 2Cor.11.16-33Πάλιν λέγω, μή τίς με δόξῃ ἀφρονα εἶναι· εἰ δὲ μή γε, κἂν ὡς ἀφρονα δέξασθέ με, ἵνα κἀγὼ μικρόν τι καυχήσωμαι.
17(What I am saying I say not with the Lord's authority but as a fool, in this boastful confidence; ὃ λαλῶ οὐ κατὰ κύριον λαλῶ, ἀλλ' ὡς ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ, ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ ὑποστάσει τῆς καυχήσεως.
18since many boast of worldly things, I too will boast.) ἐπεὶ πολλοὶ καυχῶνται κατὰ σάρκα, κἀγὼ καυχήσομαι.
19For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves! ἡδέως γὰρ ἀνέχεσθε τῶν ἀφρόνων φρόνιμοι ὄντες·
20For you bear it if a man makes slaves of you, or preys upon you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or strikes you in the face. ἀνέχεσθε γὰρ εἰ τις ὑμᾶς καταδουλοῖ, εἰ τις κατεσθίει, εἰ τις λαμβάνει, εἰ τις ἐπαίρεται, εἰ τις εἰς πρόσωπον ὑμᾶς δέρει.
21To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone dares to boast of - I am speaking as a fool - I also dare to boast of that. κατὰ ἀτιμίαν λέγω, ὡς ὅτι ἡμεῖς ἠσθενήκαμεν· ἐν ᾧ δ' ἀν τις τολμᾷ, ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ λέγω, τολμῶ κἀγώ.
22Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.  Ἑβραῖοί εἰσιν; κἀγώ. Ἰσραηλῖταί εἰσιν; κἀγώ. σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ εἰσιν; κἀγώ.
23Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one - I am talking like a madman - with far greater labours, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death.  διάκονοι Χριστοῦ εἰσιν; παραφρονῶν λαλῶ, ὑπὲρ ἐγώ· ἐν κόποις περισσοτέρως, ἐν φυλακαῖς περισσοτέρως, ἐν πληγαῖς ὑπερβαλλόντως, ἐν θανάτοις πολλάκις·
24Five times I have received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one. ὑπὸ Ἰουδαίων πεντάκις τεσσεράκοντα παρὰ μίαν ἐλαβον,
25Three times I have been beaten with rods; once I was stoned. Three times I have been shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been adrift at sea;  τρὶς ἐρραβδίσθην, ἀπαξ ἐλιθάσθην, τρὶς ἐναυάγησα, νυχθήμερον ἐν τῷ βυθῷ πεποίηκα·
26on 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 brethren;  ὁδοιπορίαις πολλάκις, κινδύνοις ποταμῶν, κινδύνοις λῃστῶν, κινδύνοις ἐκ γένους, κινδύνοις ἐξ ἐθνῶν, κινδύνοις ἐν πόλει, κινδύνοις ἐν ἐρημίᾳ, κινδύνοις ἐν θαλάσσῃ, κινδύνοις ἐν ψευδαδέλφοις,
27in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.  κόπῳ καὶ μόχθῳ, ἐν ἀγρυπνίαις πολλάκις, ἐν λιμῷ καὶ δίψει, ἐν νηστείαις πολλάκις, ἐν ψύχει καὶ γυμνότητι·
28And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure upon me of my anxiety for all the churches. χωρὶς τῶν παρεκτὸς ἡ ἐπίστασίς μοι ἡ καθ' ἡμέραν, ἡ μέριμνα πασῶν τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν.
29Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant?  τίς ἀσθενεῖ, καὶ οὐκ ἀσθενῶ; τίς σκανδαλίζεται, καὶ οὐκ ἐγὼ πυροῦμαὶ;
30If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. Εἰ καυχᾶσθαι δεῖ, τὰ τῆς ἀσθενείας μου καυχήσομαι.
31The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed for ever, knows that I do not lie. ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ οἶδεν, ὁ ὢν εὐλογητὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, ὅτι οὐ ψεύδομαι.
32At Damascus, the governor under King Aretas guarded the city of Damascus in order to seize me, ἐν Δαμασκῷ ὁ ἐθνάρχης Ἁρέτα τοῦ βασιλέως ἐφρούρει τὴν πόλιν Δαμασκηνῶν πιάσαι με,
33but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped his hands. καὶ διὰ θυρίδος ἐν σαργάνῃ ἐχαλάσθην διὰ τοῦ τείχους καὶ ἐξέφυγον τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ.

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
