2 CORINTHIANS 11:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”
But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ — Paul invokes Genesis 3: the *serpent* (*ophis*) *exapáō*, deceives utterly, Eve's *noús*, mind. The Corinthians risk *apotássō*, being turned away from, their *haplótēs*, single-hearted devotion, to Christ. *Idolatry* is fundamentally *infidelity* of mind.
