111 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
111 I hope you will put up with me in a little foolishness. Yes, please put up with me!
111 I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me!
111 Will you put up with a little foolish aside from me? Please, just for a moment.
111 Oh, that you would bear with me in a little folly--and indeed you do bear with me.
111 I hope you will put up with a little more of my foolishness. Please bear with me.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Corinthians 11:1
Commentary on 2 Corinthians 11:1-4
(Read 2 Corinthians 11:1-4)
The apostle desired to preserve the Corinthians from being corrupted by the false apostles. There is but one Jesus, one Spirit, and one gospel, to be preached to them, and received by them; and why should any be prejudiced, by the devices of an adversary, against him who first taught them in faith? They should not listen to men, who, without cause, would draw them away from those who were the means of their conversion.
