2 Cor. 11:2      2 Cor. 11:4

Second letter to the Corinthians 11:3

But I fear that, just as the serpent deceived Eve with its cunning [Gen. 3:1–6], so too your minds may be seduced and turned away from sincere and pure devotion to the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ).
[Paul uses the image of marriage and the Jewish betrothal, which was much more binding than today's engagement. Paul was like a father to the church in Corinth, see 1 Cor. 4:15. Jesus is often likened to Adam, see Rom. 15:14; 1 Cor. 15:21–22, 45. Here, the church in Corinth is likened to Eve. The church is betrothed to Jesus. Instead of resisting the devil, see James 4:7, the Corinthians had listened to the devil's representatives who had deceived them, see 2 Cor. 11:13–15; 4:2.]
