    2 Corinthians 11
    •   Would that ye could bear with me in a little foolishness: but indeed ye do bear with me.
    •   For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
    •   But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ.
    •   For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with him.
    •   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.
    •   Or did I commit a sin in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God for nought?
    •   I robbed other churches, taking wages of them that I might minister unto you;
    •   and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
    • 10   As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this glorying in the regions of Achaia.
    • 11   Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
    • 12   But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
    • 13   For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ.
    • 14   And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light.
    • 15   It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
    • 16   I say again, Let no man think me foolish; but ifye do, yet as foolish receive me, that I also may glory a little.
    • 17   That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying.
    • 18   Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
    • 19   For ye bear with the foolish gladly, being wise yourselves.
    • 20   For ye bear with a man, if he bringeth you into bondage, if he devoureth you, if he taketh you captive, if he exalteth himself, if he smiteth you on the face.
    • 21   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.
    • 22   Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
    • 23   Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I more; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths oft.
    • 24   Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
    • 25   Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day have I been in the deep;
    • 26   in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my countrymen, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
    • 27   in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
    • 28   Besides those things that are without, there is that which presseth upon me daily, anxiety for all the churches.
    • 29   Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is caused to stumble, and I burn not?
    • 30   If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my weakness.
    • 31   The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed for evermore knoweth that I lie not.
    • 32   In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes in order to take me:
    • 33   and through a window was I let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.

  • American Standard Version (asv - 2)

    2021-02-18

    English (en)

    The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

    The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

    While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

    Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
