2 Corinthians 11:16-23 The Message (MSG)
Let me come back to where I started—and don’t hold it against me if I continue to sound a little foolish. Or if you’d rather, just accept that I am a fool and let me rant on a little. I didn’t learn this kind of talk from Christ. Oh, no, it’s a bad habit I picked up from the three-ring preachers that are so popular these days. Since you sit there in the judgment seat observing all these shenanigans, you can afford to humor an occasional fool who happens along. You have such admirable tolerance for impostors who rob your freedom, rip you off, steal you blind, put you down—even slap your face! I shouldn’t admit it to you, but our stomachs aren’t strong enough to tolerate that kind of stuff.
2 Corinthians 11:28-29 The Message (MSG)
And that’s not the half of it, when you throw in the daily pressures and anxieties of all the churches. When someone gets to the end of his rope, I feel the desperation in my bones. When someone is duped into sin, an angry fire burns in my gut.
2 Corinthians 11:21 King James Version (KJV)

Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
2 Corinthians 11:21 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

2 Corinthians 11:29 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern?
2 Corinthians 11:21 New Century Version (NCV)
It is shameful to me to say this, but we were too “weak” to do those things to you! But if anyone else is brave enough to brag, then I also will be brave and brag. (I am talking as a fool.)
2 Corinthians 11:29 New Century Version (NCV)
I feel weak every time someone is weak, and I feel upset every time someone is led into sin.

I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet whereinsoever any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

Who is weak, and I do not feel [his] weakness? Who is made to sin, and I am not on fire [with sorrow and concern]?
