"I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness; but you are already doing that. I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. But I do not think I am in the least inferior to those 'super
apostles.' I may not be a trained speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
Beware of False Teachers
The Corinthians sincere and pure devotion to Christ was being threatened by false teaching. Paul did not want the believers to lose their single-minded love for Christ. Just as Eve lost her focus by listening to the serpent, we too can lose our focus by letting our lives become
overcrowded and confused. Try you best to focus daily on the Lord God Almighty and His instructions to you.
