2 Corinthians 11:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 For I am jealous of you with a godly jealousy, since I promised all of you to one spouse, to present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 However, I am afraid that, just as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts may be led astray from a singlehearted fidelity to Christ. 4 For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus[a] than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with that readily enough!

- 2 Corinthians 11:4 Another Jesus: the false apostles present Jesus cast in the mold of Judaistic teachings (see 2 Cor 11:22). Different spirit: e.g., a spirit of bondage, fear, and worldliness (see Rom 8:15; 1 Cor 2:12; Gal 2:4; 4:24; Col 2:20-23) instead of a Spirit of freedom, love, joy, praise, and power (see 2 Cor 3:17; Rom 14:17; Gal 2:4; 5:1, 22; Eph 3:20; Col 1:11; 2 Tim 1:7). Different gospel: i.e., a gospel that is really no gospel at all (see Gal 1:6-9).

New International Version
2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband,(A) to Christ, so that I might present you(B) as a pure virgin to him. 3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning,(C) your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4 For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached,(D) or if you receive a different spirit(E) from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel(F) from the one you accepted, you put up with it(G) easily enough.
