1 ὄφελον ἀνείχεσθέ μου μικρόν τι ἀφροσύνης· ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀνέχεσθέ μου.

2 ζηλῶ γὰρ ὑμᾶς θεοῦ ζήλῳ, ἡρμοσάμην γὰρ ὑμᾶς ἑνὶ ἀνδρὶ παρθένον ἁγνὴν παραστῆσαι τῶ χριστῶ·

3 φοβοῦμαι δὲ μή πως, ὡς ὁ ὄφις ἐξηπάτησεν εὕαν ἐν τῇ πανουργίᾳ αὐτοῦ, φθαρῇ τὰ νοήματα ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἁπλότητος [καὶ τῆς ἁγνότητος] τῆς εἰς τὸν χριστόν.

4 εἰ μὲν γὰρ ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἄλλον ἰησοῦν κηρύσσει ὃν οὐκ ἐκηρύξαμεν, ἢ πνεῦμα ἕτερον λαμβάνετε ὃ οὐκ ἐλάβετε, ἢ εὐαγγέλιον ἕτερον ὃ οὐκ ἐδέξασθε, καλῶς ἀνέχεσθε.

5 λογίζομαι γὰρ μηδὲν ὑστερηκέναι τῶν ὑπερλίαν ἀποστόλων·

6 εἰ δὲ καὶ ἰδιώτης τῶ λόγῳ, ἀλλ᾽ οὐ τῇ γνώσει, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν παντὶ φανερώσαντες ἐν πᾶσιν εἰς ὑμᾶς.

7 ἢ ἁμαρτίαν ἐποίησα ἐμαυτὸν ταπεινῶν ἵνα ὑμεῖς ὑψωθῆτε, ὅτι δωρεὰν τὸ τοῦ θεοῦ εὐαγγέλιον εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν;

8 ἄλλας ἐκκλησίας ἐσύλησα λαβὼν ὀψώνιον πρὸς τὴν ὑμῶν διακονίαν,

9 καὶ παρὼν πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ ὑστερηθεὶς οὐ κατενάρκησα οὐθενός· τὸ γὰρ ὑστέρημά μου προσανεπλήρωσαν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἐλθόντες ἀπὸ μακεδονίας· καὶ ἐν παντὶ ἀβαρῆ ἐμαυτὸν ὑμῖν ἐτήρησα καὶ τηρήσω.

10 ἔστιν ἀλήθεια χριστοῦ ἐν ἐμοὶ ὅτι ἡ καύχησις αὕτη οὐ φραγήσεται εἰς ἐμὲ ἐν τοῖς κλίμασιν τῆς ἀχαΐας.

11 διὰ τί; ὅτι οὐκ ἀγαπῶ ὑμᾶς; ὁ θεὸς οἶδεν.

12 ὃ δὲ ποιῶ καὶ ποιήσω, ἵνα ἐκκόψω τὴν ἀφορμὴν τῶν θελόντων ἀφορμήν, ἵνα ἐν ᾧ καυχῶνται εὑρεθῶσιν καθὼς καὶ ἡμεῖς.

13 οἱ γὰρ τοιοῦτοι ψευδαπόστολοι, ἐργάται δόλιοι, μετασχηματιζόμενοι εἰς ἀποστόλους χριστοῦ.

14 καὶ οὐ θαῦμα, αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ σατανᾶς μετασχηματίζεται εἰς ἄγγελον φωτός·

15 οὐ μέγα οὗν εἰ καὶ οἱ διάκονοι αὐτοῦ μετασχηματίζονται ὡς διάκονοι δικαιοσύνης, ὧν τὸ τέλος ἔσται κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν.

16 πάλιν λέγω, μή τίς με δόξῃ ἄφρονα εἶναι· εἰ δὲ μή γε, κἂν ὡς ἄφρονα δέξασθέ με, ἵνα κἀγὼ μικρόν τι καυχήσωμαι.

17 ὃ λαλῶ οὐ κατὰ κύριον λαλῶ, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ, ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ ὑποστάσει τῆς καυχήσεως.

18 ἐπεὶ πολλοὶ καυχῶνται κατὰ σάρκα, κἀγὼ καυχήσομαι.

19 ἡδέως γὰρ ἀνέχεσθε τῶν ἀφρόνων φρόνιμοι ὄντες·

20 ἀνέχεσθε γὰρ εἴ τις ὑμᾶς καταδουλοῖ, εἴ τις κατεσθίει, εἴ τις λαμβάνει, εἴ τις ἐπαίρεται, εἴ τις εἰς πρόσωπον ὑμᾶς δέρει.

21 κατὰ ἀτιμίαν λέγω, ὡς ὅτι ἡμεῖς ἠσθενήκαμεν· ἐν ᾧ δ᾽ ἄν τις τολμᾷ, ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ λέγω, τολμῶ κἀγώ.

22 ἑβραῖοί εἰσιν; κἀγώ. ἰσραηλῖταί εἰσιν; κἀγώ. σπέρμα ἀβραάμ εἰσιν; κἀγώ.

23 διάκονοι χριστοῦ εἰσιν; παραφρονῶν λαλῶ, ὑπὲρ ἐγώ· ἐν κόποις περισσοτέρως, ἐν φυλακαῖς περισσοτέρως, ἐν πληγαῖς ὑπερβαλλόντως, ἐν θανάτοις πολλάκις·

24 ὑπὸ ἰουδαίων πεντάκις τεσσεράκοντα παρὰ μίαν ἔλαβον,

25 τρὶς ἐρραβδίσθην, ἅπαξ ἐλιθάσθην, τρὶς ἐναυάγησα, νυχθήμερον ἐν τῶ βυθῶ πεποίηκα·

26 ὁδοιπορίαις πολλάκις, κινδύνοις ποταμῶν, κινδύνοις λῃστῶν, κινδύνοις ἐκ γένους, κινδύνοις ἐξ ἐθνῶν, κινδύνοις ἐν πόλει, κινδύνοις ἐν ἐρημίᾳ, κινδύνοις ἐν θαλάσσῃ, κινδύνοις ἐν ψευδαδέλφοις,

27 κόπῳ καὶ μόχθῳ, ἐν ἀγρυπνίαις πολλάκις, ἐν λιμῶ καὶ δίψει, ἐν νηστείαις πολλάκις, ἐν ψύχει καὶ γυμνότητι·

28 χωρὶς τῶν παρεκτὸς ἡ ἐπίστασίς μοι ἡ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν, ἡ μέριμνα πασῶν τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν.

29 τίς ἀσθενεῖ, καὶ οὐκ ἀσθενῶ; τίς σκανδαλίζεται, καὶ οὐκ ἐγὼ πυροῦμαι;

30 εἰ καυχᾶσθαι δεῖ, τὰ τῆς ἀσθενείας μου καυχήσομαι.

31 ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τοῦ κυρίου ἰησοῦ οἶδεν, ὁ ὢν εὐλογητὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, ὅτι οὐ ψεύδομαι.

32 ἐν δαμασκῶ ὁ ἐθνάρχης ἁρέτα τοῦ βασιλέως ἐφρούρει τὴν πόλιν δαμασκηνῶν πιάσαι με,

33 καὶ διὰ θυρίδος ἐν σαργάνῃ ἐχαλάσθην διὰ τοῦ τείχους καὶ ἐξέφυγον τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ.

1  Would to God³⁷⁸⁵ ye could bear with⁴³⁰ me³⁴⁵⁰ a little³³⁹⁷ in my folly:⁸⁷⁷ and²³⁵ indeed²⁵³² bear with⁴³⁰ me.³⁴⁵⁰

2  For¹⁰⁶³ I am jealous²²⁰⁶ over you⁵²⁰⁹ with godly²³¹⁶ jealousy:²²⁰⁵ for¹⁰⁶³ I have espoused⁷¹⁸ you⁵²⁰⁹ to one¹⁵²⁰ husband,⁴³⁵ that I may present³⁹³⁶ you as a chaste⁵³ virgin³⁹³³ to Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

3  But¹¹⁶¹ I fear,⁵³⁹⁹ lest by any means,³³⁸¹ as⁵⁶¹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ serpent³⁷⁸⁹ beguiled¹⁸¹⁸ Eve²⁰⁹⁶ through¹⁷²² his⁸⁴⁸ subtlety,³⁸³⁴ so³⁷⁷⁹ your⁵²¹⁶ minds³⁵⁴⁰ should be corrupted⁵³⁵¹ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ simplicity⁵⁷² that³⁵⁸⁸ is in¹⁵¹⁹ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

4  For¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴⁸⁷ he that cometh²⁰⁶⁴ preacheth²⁷⁸⁴ another²⁴³ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ we have not³⁷⁵⁶ preached,²⁷⁸⁴ or²²²⁸ if ye receive²⁹⁸³ another²⁰⁸⁷ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ which³⁷³⁹ ye have not³⁷⁵⁶ received,²⁹⁸³ or²²²⁸ another²⁰⁸⁷ gospel,²⁰⁹⁸ which³⁷³⁹ ye have not³⁷⁵⁶ accepted,¹²⁰⁹ ye might well²⁵⁷³ bear with⁴³⁰ him.

5  For¹⁰⁶³ I suppose³⁰⁴⁹ I was not a whit behind^{5302 3367} the³⁵⁸⁸ very chiefest^{5228 3029} apostles.⁶⁵²

6  But¹¹⁶¹ though^{1487 2532} I be rude²³⁹⁹ in speech,³⁰⁵⁶ yet²³⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ in knowledge;¹¹⁰⁸ but²³⁵ we have been throughly^{1722 3956} made manifest⁵³¹⁹ among¹⁵¹⁹ you⁵²⁰⁹ in¹⁷²² all things.³⁹⁵⁶

7  ²²²⁸ Have I committed⁴¹⁶⁰ an offense²⁶⁶ in abasing⁵⁰¹³ myself¹⁶⁸³ that²⁴⁴³ ye⁵²¹⁰ might be exalted,⁵³¹² because³⁷⁵⁴ I have preached²⁰⁹⁷ to you⁵²¹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel²⁰⁹⁸ of God²³¹⁶ freely?¹⁴³²

8  I robbed⁴⁸¹³ other²⁴³ churches,¹⁵⁷⁷ taking²⁹⁸³ wages³⁸⁰⁰ of them, to⁴³¹⁴ do you⁵²¹⁶ service.¹²⁴⁸

9  And²⁵³² when I was present³⁹¹⁸ with⁴³¹⁴ you,⁵²⁰⁹ and²⁵³² wanted,⁵³⁰² I³⁷⁵⁶ was chargable²⁶⁵⁵ to no man:³⁷⁶² for¹⁰⁶³ that which was lacking⁵³⁰³ to me³⁴⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ which came²⁰⁶⁴ from⁵⁷⁵ Macedonia³¹⁰⁹ supplied:⁴³²² and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ things I have kept⁵⁰⁸³ myself¹⁶⁸³ from being burdensome⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² so will I keep⁵⁰⁸³ myself.

10  As the truth²²⁵ of Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ is²⁰⁷⁶ in¹⁷²² me,¹⁶⁹⁸ no man^{3754 3756} shall stop^{4972 1519} me¹⁶⁹¹ of this³⁷⁷⁸ boasting²⁷⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ regions²⁸²⁴ of Achaia.⁸⁸²

11  Wherefore?¹³⁰² because³⁷⁵⁴ I love²⁵ you⁵²⁰⁹ not?³⁷⁵⁶ God²³¹⁶ knoweth.¹⁴⁹²

12  But¹¹⁶¹ what³⁷³⁹ I do,⁴¹⁶⁰ that I²⁵³² will do,⁴¹⁶⁰ that²⁴⁴³ I may cut off¹⁵⁸¹ occasion⁸⁷⁴ from them which desire²³⁰⁹ occasion;⁸⁷⁴ that²⁴⁴³ wherein^{1722 3739} they glory,²⁷⁴⁴ they may be found²¹⁴⁷ even²⁵³² as²⁵³¹ we.²²⁴⁹

13  For¹⁰⁶³ such⁵¹⁰⁸ are false apostles,⁵⁵⁷⁰ deceitful¹³⁸⁶ workers,²⁰⁴⁰ transforming themselves³³⁴⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the apostles⁶⁵² of Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

14  And²⁵³² no³⁷⁵⁶ marvel;²²⁹⁸ for¹⁰⁶³ Satan⁴⁵⁶⁷ himself⁸⁴⁶ is transformed³³⁴⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ an angel³² of light.⁵⁴⁵⁷

15  Therefore³⁷⁶⁷ it is no³⁷⁵⁶ great thing³¹⁷³ if¹⁴⁹⁹ his⁸⁴⁶ ministers¹²⁴⁹ also be transformed³³⁴⁵ as⁵⁶¹³ the ministers¹²⁴⁹ of righteousness;¹³⁴³ whose³⁷³⁹ end⁵⁰⁵⁶ shall be²⁰⁷¹ according²⁵⁹⁶ to their⁸⁴⁶ works.²⁰⁴¹

16  I say³⁰⁰⁴ again,³⁸²⁵ Let no³³⁶¹ man⁵¹⁰⁰ think¹³⁸⁰ me³¹⁶⁵ a¹⁵¹¹ fool;⁸⁷⁸ if otherwise,^{1490 1490} yet²⁵⁷⁹ as⁵⁶¹³ a fool⁸⁷⁸ receive¹²⁰⁹ me,³¹⁶⁵ that²⁴⁴³ I²⁵⁰⁴ may boast²⁷⁴⁴ myself a little.^{3397 5100}

17  That³⁷³⁹ which I speak,²⁹⁸⁰ I speak²⁹⁸⁰ it not³⁷⁵⁶ after²⁵⁹⁶ the Lord,²⁹⁶² but²³⁵ as it were⁵⁶¹³ foolishly,^{1722 877} in¹⁷²² this⁵⁰²⁶ confidence⁵²⁸⁷ of boasting.²⁷⁴⁶

18  Seeing that¹⁸⁹³ many⁴¹⁸³ glory²⁷⁴⁴ after²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ I will glory also.^{2504 2744}

19  For¹⁰⁶³ ye suffer⁴³⁰ fools⁸⁷⁸ gladly,²²³⁴ seeing ye yourselves are⁵⁶⁰⁷ wise.⁵⁴²⁹

20  For¹⁰⁶³ ye suffer,⁴³⁰ if a man¹⁵³⁶ bring you into bondage,^{2615 5209} if a man¹⁵³⁶ devour²⁷¹⁹ you, if a man¹⁵³⁶ take²⁹⁸³ of you, if a man¹⁵³⁶ exalt himself,¹⁸⁶⁹ if a man¹⁵³⁶ smite¹¹⁹⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ on¹⁵¹⁹ the face.⁴³⁸³

21  I speak³⁰⁰⁴ as concerning²⁵⁹⁶ reproach,⁸¹⁹ as⁵⁶¹³ though³⁷⁵⁴ we²²⁴⁹ had been weak.⁷⁷⁰ Howbeit¹¹⁶¹ whereinsoever^{1722 3739 302} any⁵¹⁰⁰ is bold, I⁵¹¹¹ (speak³⁰⁰⁴ foolishly,)^{1722 877} I am bold also.^{2504 5111}

22  Are¹⁵²⁶ they Hebrews?¹⁴⁴⁵ so am I.²⁵⁰⁴ Are¹⁵²⁶ they Israelites?²⁴⁷⁵ so am I.²⁵⁰⁴ Are¹⁵²⁶ they the seed⁴⁶⁹⁰ of Abraham?¹¹ so am I.²⁵⁰⁴

23  Are¹⁵²⁶ they ministers¹²⁴⁹ of Christ? I⁵⁵⁴⁷ (speak²⁹⁸⁰ as a fool)³⁹¹² I¹⁴⁷³ am more;⁵²²⁸ in¹⁷²² labors²⁸⁷³ more abundant,⁴⁰⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² stripes⁴¹²⁷ above measure,⁵²³⁴ in¹⁷²² prisons⁵⁴³⁸ more frequent,⁴⁰⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² deaths²²⁸⁸ oft.⁴¹⁷⁸

24  Of⁵²⁵⁹ the Jews²⁴⁵³ five times³⁹⁹⁹ received²⁹⁸³ I forty⁵⁰⁶² stripes save³⁸⁴⁴ one.³³⁹¹

25  Thrice⁵¹⁵¹ was I beaten with rods,⁴⁴⁶³ once⁵³⁰ was I stoned,³⁰³⁴ thrice⁵¹⁵¹ I suffered shipwreck,³⁴⁸⁹ a night and a day³⁵⁷⁴ I have been⁴¹⁶⁰ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ deep;¹⁰³⁷

26  In journeyings³⁵⁹⁷ often,⁴¹⁷⁸ in perils²⁷⁹⁴ of waters,⁴²¹⁵ in perils²⁷⁹⁴ of robbers,³⁰²⁷ in perils²⁷⁹⁴ by¹⁵³⁷ mine own countrymen,¹⁰⁸⁵ in perils²⁷⁹⁴ by¹⁵³⁷ the heathen,¹⁴⁸⁴ in perils²⁷⁹⁴ in¹⁷²² the city,⁴¹⁷² in perils²⁷⁹⁴ in¹⁷²² the wilderness,²⁰⁴⁷ in perils²⁷⁹⁴ in¹⁷²² the sea,²²⁸¹ in perils²⁷⁹⁴ among¹⁷²² false brethren;⁵⁵⁶⁹

27  In¹⁷²² weariness²⁸⁷³ and²⁵³² painfulness,³⁴⁴⁹ in¹⁷²² watchings⁷⁰ often,⁴¹⁷⁸ in¹⁷²² hunger³⁰⁴² and²⁵³² thirst,¹³⁷² in¹⁷²² fastings³⁵²¹ often,⁴¹⁷⁸ in¹⁷²² cold⁵⁵⁹² and²⁵³² nakedness.¹¹³²

28  Beside⁵⁵⁶⁵ those things that are without,³⁹²⁴ that which cometh upon¹⁹⁹⁹ me³⁴⁵⁰ daily,^{2596 2250} the³⁵⁸⁸ care³³⁰⁸ of all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ churches.¹⁵⁷⁷

29  Who⁵¹⁰¹ is weak,⁷⁷⁰ and²⁵³² I am not weak?^{770 3756} who⁵¹⁰¹ is offended,⁴⁶²⁴ and²⁵³² I¹⁴⁷³ burn⁴⁴⁴⁸ not?³⁷⁵⁶

30  If¹⁴⁸⁷ I must needs¹¹⁶³ glory,²⁷⁴⁴ I will glory²⁷⁴⁴ of the things³⁵⁸⁸ which concern mine³⁴⁵⁰ infirmities.⁷⁶⁹

31  The³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² Father³⁹⁶² of our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ which is⁵⁶⁰⁷ blessed²¹²⁸ forevermore,^{1519 165} knoweth¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ I lie⁵⁵⁷⁴ not.³⁷⁵⁶

32  In¹⁷²² Damascus¹¹⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ governor¹⁴⁸¹ under Aretas⁷⁰² the³⁵⁸⁸ king⁹³⁵ kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison,^{5432 3588 4172 1153} desirous²³⁰⁹ to apprehend⁴⁰⁸⁴ me:³¹⁶⁵

33  And²⁵³² through¹²²³ a window²³⁷⁶ in¹⁷²² a basket⁴⁵⁵³ was I let down⁵⁴⁶⁵ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ wall,⁵⁰³⁸ and²⁵³² escaped¹⁶²⁸ his⁸⁴⁶ hands.⁵⁴⁹⁵

Vul

1 Utinam sustineretis modicum quid insipientiæ meæ, sed et supportare me:

2 æmulor enim vos Dei æmulatione. Despondi enim vos uni viro, virginem castam exhibere Christo.

3 Timeo autem ne sicut serpens Hevam seduxit astutia sua, ita corrumpantur sensus vestri, et excidant a simplicitate, quæ est in Christo.

4 Nam si is qui venit, alium Christum prædicat, quem non prædicavimus, aut alium spiritum accipitis, quem non accepistis: aut aliud Evangelium, quod non recepistis: recte pateremini.

5 Existimo enim nihil me minus fecisse a magnis Apostolis.

6 Nam etsi imperitus sermone, sed non scientia, in omnibus autem manifestati sumus vobis.

7 Aut numquid peccatum feci, meipsum humilians, ut vos exaltemini? quoniam gratis Evangelium Dei evangelizavi vobis?

8 Alias ecclesias expoliavi, accipiens stipendium ad ministerium vestrum.

9 Et cum essem apud vos, et egerem, nulli onerosus fui: nam quod mihi deerat, suppleverunt fratres, qui venerunt a Macedonia: et in omnibus sine onere me vobis servavi, et servabo.

10 Est veritas Christi in me, quoniam hæc gloriatio non infringetur in me in regionibus Achaiæ.

11 Quare? quia non diligo vos? Deus scit.

12 Quod autem facio, et faciam: ut amputem occasionem eorum qui volunt occasionem, ut in quo gloriantur, inveniantur sicut et nos.

13 Nam ejusmodi pseudoapostoli sunt operarii subdoli, transfigurantes se in apostolos Christi.

14 Et non mirum: ipse enim Satanas transfigurat se in angelum lucis.

15 Non est ergo magnum, si ministri ejus transfigurentur velut ministri justitiæ: quorum finis erit secundum opera ipsorum.

16 Iterum dico (ne quis me putet insipientem esse, alioquin velut insipientem accipite me, ut et ego modicum quid glorier),

17 quod loquor, non loquor secundum Deum, sed quasi in insipientia, in hac substantia gloriæ.

18 Quoniam multi gloriantur secundum carnem: et ego gloriabor.

19 Libenter enim suffertis insipientes, cum sitis ipsi sapientes.

20 Sustinetis enim si quis vos in servitutem redigit, si quis devorat, si quis accipit, si quis extollitur, si quis in faciem vos cædit.

21 Secundum ignobilitatem dico, quasi nos infirmi fuerimus in hac parte. In quo quis audet (in insipientia dico) audeo et ego:

22 Hebræi sunt, et ego: Israëlitæ sunt, et ego: semen Abrahæ sunt, et ego.

23 Ministri Christi sunt (ut minus sapiens dico), plus ego: in laboribus plurimis, in carceribus abundantius, in plagis supra modum, in mortibus frequenter.

24 A Judæis quinquies, quadragenas, una minus, accepi.

25 Ter virgis cæsus sum, semel lapidatus sum: ter naufragium feci, nocte et die in profundo maris fui,

26 in itineribus sæpe, periculis fluminum, periculis latronum, periculis ex genere, periculis ex gentibus, periculis in civitate, periculis in solitudine, periculis in mari, periculis in falsis fratribus:

27 in labore et ærumna, in vigiliis multis, in fame et siti, in jejuniis multis, in frigore et nuditate,

28 præter illa quæ extrinsecus sunt, instantia mea quotidiana, sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum.

29 Quis infirmatur, et ego non infirmor? quis scandalizatur, et ego non uror?

30 Si gloriari oportet, quæ infirmitatis meæ sunt, gloriabor.

31 Deus et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, qui est benedictus in sæcula, scit quod non mentior.

32 Damasci præpositus gentis Aretæ regis custodiebat civitatem Damascenorum ut me comprehenderet:

33 et per fenestram in sporta dimissus sum per murum, et sic effugi manus ejus.
