2 Corinthians11:20

20 For ye suffer if a man bring you into bondage h, if a man devour you , if a man take of you , if a man exalt himself , if a man smite you on the face .

if they devour and make a prey of you,

If any domineer over you, as if you were their Slaves, or if any bring you into subjection to the Rites of the Ceremonial Law;

take Wages of you, and do nothing without hire,

if they carry themselves proudly, exalting themselves above you,

nay if they smite you, you will suffer and bear with such; this is more than to bear with a little folly and indiscretion in me. This is observable, that men of corrupt hearts and loose lives, will better bear with Teachers that will humour and spare them in their Lusts, than with such as are faithful to their Souls in instructing and reproving them, though they carry themselves with the greatest innocency and justice towards them.
