2 Corinthians 11:4-6

4For if someone comes and proclaims
Or “preaches.”
another Jesus different from the one we proclaimed,
Grk “another Jesus whom we have not proclaimed.”
or if you receive a different spirit than the one you received,
Grk “a different spirit which you did not receive.”
or a different gospel than the one you accepted,
Grk “a different gospel which you did not accept.”
you put up with it well enough!
Or “you endure it very well.”
5For I consider myself not at all inferior to those “super-apostles.”
The implicit irony in Paul’s remark is brought out well by the TEV: “I do not think that I am the least bit inferior to those very special so-called ‘apostles’ of yours!”
The super-apostles’ refers either (1) to the original apostles (the older interpretation) or (2) more probably, to Paul’s opponents in Corinth, in which case the designation is ironic.
6And even if I am unskilled
Unskilled in speaking means not professionally trained as a rhetorician.
in speaking, yet I am certainly not so in knowledge. Indeed, we have made this plain to you in everything in every way.
