2 Corinthians 11:12

Paul and the False Apostles

11Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!12But I will keep on doing what I am doing, in order to undercut those who want an opportunity to be regarded as our equals in the things of which they boast.13For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
