3 STF Ali se bojim da se- kao љto zmija zavede Evu svojom lukavљtinom- misli vaљe ne pokvare i odmetnu od iskrenosti prema Kristu. BSB BSB: I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.
4 STF Uistinu, ako tko dode i propovijeda drugog Isusa, kojega mi nismo propovijedali- ili ako drugoga Duha primate, kojega niste primili; ili drugo evandelje, koje niste prigrlili- takva lijepo podnosДite.

7 STF Ili sam grijeh pocinio љto sam vam- ponizujuci sebe da se vi uzvisite- besplatno navjeљcivao Boћje evandelje? BSB BSB: Was it a sin for me to humble myself in order to exalt you, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?
8 STF Druge sam crkve plijenio, od njih primao potporu da bih mogao vama sluћiti. I dok bijah u vas, premda u oskudici, nikomu nisam bio na teret. BSB BSB: I robbed other churches by accepting their support in order to serve you.

16 STF Opet velim: da me tko ne bi smatrao bezumnim! Uostalom, primite me makar i kao bezumna da se i ja neљto malo pohvalim. BSB BSB: I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
17 STF Љto govorim, ne govorim po Gospodnju, nego kao u bezumlju, u ovoj hvalisavoj smionosti. BSB BSB: In this confident boasting of mine, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as a fool.

21 STF Na sramotu govorim: bili smo, biva, slabi! Ipak, cime se god tko osmjeljuje- u bezumlju govorim- osmjeljujem se i ja! BSB BSB: To my shame I concede that we were too weak for that! Speaking as a fool, however, I can match what anyone else dares to boast about.
