2 Corinthians 11:5-6
2 Corinthians 11:4-6 The Message (MSG)
It seems that if someone shows up preaching quite another Jesus than we preached—different spirit, different message—you put up with him quite nicely. But if you put up with these big-shot “apostles,” why can’t you put up with simple me? I’m as good as they are. It’s true that I don’t have their voice, haven’t mastered that smooth eloquence that impresses you so much. But when I do open my mouth, I at least know what I’m talking about. We haven’t kept anything back. We let you in on everything.
2 Corinthians 11:5-6 King James Version (KJV)

2 Corinthians 11:5-6 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
For I consider myself not in the least inferior to the most eminent apostles. But even if I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not so in knowledge; in fact, in every way we have made this evident to you in all things.
2 Corinthians 11:5-6 New Century Version (NCV)
I do not think that those “great apostles” are any better than I am. I may not be a trained speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have shown this to you clearly in every way.
2 Corinthians 11:5-6 American Standard Version (ASV)
For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. But though I be rude in speech, yet am I not in knowledge; nay, in every way have we made this manifest unto you in all things.
2 Corinthians 11:5-6 New International Version (NIV)
I do not think I am in the least inferior to those “super-apostles.” I may indeed be untrained as a speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
2 Corinthians 11:5-6 New King James Version (NKJV)
For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles. Even though I am untrained in speech, yet I am not in knowledge. But we have been thoroughly manifested among you in all things.
2 Corinthians 11:5-6 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Yet I consider myself in no way inferior to the [so-called] super-apostles. But even if I am unskilled in speaking, yet I am not [untrained] in knowledge [I know what I am talking about]; but we have made this evident to you in every way, in all things.
2 Corinthians 11:5-6 New Living Translation (NLT)

2 Corinthians 11:5-6 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Now, I believe that I am not inferior in any way to these special “super-apostles” you are attracted to. For although I may not be a polished or eloquent speaker, I’m certainly not an amateur in revelation knowledge. Indeed, we have demonstrated this to you time and again.
