2. I am jealous over you. And this jealousy comes from God. I promised to give you to Christ. He must be your only husband. I want to give you to Christ to be his pure bride.
3. But I am afraid that your minds will be led away from your true and pure following of Christ. This might happen just as Eve was tricked by the snake with his evil ways.
4. You are very patient with anyone who comes to you and preaches a different Jesus than the one we preached. You are very willing to accept a spirit or Good News that is different from the Spirit and Good News that you received from us.
5. I do not think that those “great apostles” are any better than I am.
6. I may not be a trained speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have shown this to you clearly in every way.
7. I preached God’s Good News to you without pay. I made myself unimportant to make you important. Do you think that was wrong?
8. I accepted pay from other churches. I took their money so that I could serve you.
