NASB | 2 Corinthians 11:4 For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 11:4 For [you seem willing to allow it] if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted. You tolerate all this beautifully [welcoming the deception]. |
Bible Question: What does Paul mean by "you bear this beautifully"? |
Bible Answer: Nolan, Paul is concerned that they are willing to accept another Jesus ... put up with it easily enough (NIV or you submit to it readily enough (RSV). "Pathetically tolerant," is what I would of told them. Mark 7:9 comes to mind, where what God was said was rejected, to follow their own way. No punches pulled here. After you listen to lies long enough, you may believe them. Galatans 1:6-9 is another passage were Paul sends out a warning about different gospel. We need to be aware of what we hear and stop listening to someone who preaches different gospel. Do not give them a chance, but speak to them the truth, in love ... be ready to give an answer about what you believe. The context (vs. 3) shows that Eve listened to the serpent - the fruit looked beautiful to her and so did what the serpent promised. She already had added to what God said. What about us?
