Second Corinthians 11:1-33

II Corinthians 11:1 and 2:

11:1I wish you used-to hold-yourselves-up-with me (even if you thought I had) some small-amount of thoughtlessness, but also you must hold-yourselves-up-with me .2for I am zealous-towards you with God's zeal for I joined you to one adult-male, a pure (female) virgin to present to Christ,

Paul continues writing to the holy-people in Corinth and in the whole of Achaia:

I express my wish that in the past you were holding yourselves in an upright-position putting up with and enduring me – even if you thought that I had a small quantity of thoughtlessness (of not thinking in my mind, of being without-thoughts, of having senselessness, foolishness).

But contrary to that, during the present you must hold yourselves up relative-to me (in other words, it is imperative that you put up with and endure what I am teaching you now in this letter).

We who read this letter should understand that Paul was not thoughtless because he wrote to them by receiving the information of what to write from God and from the Lord Jesus Christ (refer to verse 16 below).

In truth, I am zealous towards you (in the good sense, I have a boiling or vehement passion for you) with God's zeal (with the zeal that God has for you), for I joined you to one adult-male (I fitted you together, betrothed you to a single grown-man promised to be your husband). You are as a pure female-virgin (figuratively you are as a female who has not yet had sexual relations with the opposite sex and is still unmarried being in a pure-state, chaste, not contaminated by any bad-thing which may be near-by), and it is my responsibility and duty to present you to Christ (cause you to stand beside, near-by the Anointed-one, the Messiah).

[Reference: Genesis 2:20(b)-24; Ephesians 5:27, 30-32.]
