2 CORINTHIANS 11:2 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0

“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”

I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him — Paul employs *bridal* imagery (*parthenía*, virginity) to establish his *paternal* and *spiritual* relationship to the Corinthians. His *zēlos*, zealous jealousy (*theou*, of God), is *peri hymōn*, for/about them, protecting them from *seduction*. The Corinthians are *betrothed* to *Christ*, not to false apostles.
