The affliction I have had, comes only from a particular quarter, so that my resentment does not affect the whole church.

for ye bear, if any one is bringing you under bondage, if any one doth devour, if any one doth take away, if any one doth exalt himself, if any one on the face doth smite you;

Give place to us! no one, have we wronged, no one, have we corrupted, no one, have we defrauded.

For if anybody comes along and preaches another Jesus than the one I preached, or you receive another spirit different from the one you did receive or a glad message different from the one you did accept, you listen to it all right!

And what agreement is there between Christ and the Evil One? or what part has one who has faith with one who has not?

I have not indeed the audacity to class myself among, or compare myself with, certain of the self-commenders; yet they are not wise in measuring themselves by one another and in comparing themselves with one another.
