1 A hope oona gwine beah wid me wiles A cut de fool. Kin ya do dat much fa me? 2 Cause A jealous oba oona same fashion God esef jealous. Cause A done promise oona fa marry ta Christ, so dat A able fa gii oona, like ooman wa ain neba know no man, ta e one husban. 3 A scaid dat wa happen ta Eve gwine happen ta oona too. Jes like de snake trick Eve an ceebe um, somebody gwine trick oona so dat oda ting dem go on een oona head, an den oona gwine stop fa trus een Christ fa true wid all oona haat. 4 A scaid fa oona, cause oona ready fa listen ta wasoneba poson wa come ta oona, da tell oona bout noda Jedus wa ain de same Jedus we beena tell oona bout. Oona cept de sperit dey promise oona, wa ain de one oona got wen A been dey, an oona da listen ta wasoneba poson wa come da tell oona ting wa diffunt fom de Good Nyews bout Jedus wa we tell oona.

5 A da taak bout dem big shot wa call deysef postle. A ain tink dey eben a leetle bit mo betta den me. 6 Eben ef A ain able fa taak too good, wa A know, A know um good fa sho. We done mek dat plain ta oona een ebryting, an een ebry way.

7 A ain aks oona fa no pay wen A beena tell oona de Good Nyews bout God. A been pit mesef down low so dat oona kin come high op. Fa true, dat ain no bad ting A beena do, ainty? 8 Wen A beena wok mongst oona, oda choch dem been gii me wa A need fa lib. E same like A beena tief dem choch so dat A kin hep oona. 9 An wiles A been dey wid oona, wensoneba A beena need sompin, A neba bodda none ob oona. A ain aks oona fa nottin. Cause de bredren wa come fom Macedonia, dey bring all dat A beena need. An jes like e been, dat so e gwine be all de time. A ain gwine be no burden pon oona. 10 A promise oona dat wehsoneba A go een all ob Achaia, A gwine taak bout dis good ting, say dat A ain tek no pay fom oona han. Ain nobody gwine stop me fom say dat. Dat de true wod wa Christ pit een me haat fa taak. 11 Oona tink dat A da taak dis way cause A ain lob oona? Dat ain so. God know dat A lob oona!

12 A gwine still keep on da do wa A da do now, so dat dem oda people wa some call postle, ain gwine git no reason fa brag, say dey da do de same wok jes like we da do. 13 People wa da do like dat ain no true postle tall. Dey da lie bout dey wok, an dey jes da mek deysef look like dey Christ true postle dem. 14 Oona ain oughta wonda bout dat, cause Satan too kin change an mek esef look like a angel ob light. 15 So den, ain no big ting wen Satan saabant dem, too, da mek deysef look like dey God true saabant wa da waak een God way. Wen dey own time done end, dey gwine git dey pay fa de ting dem wa dey do.

16 A da tell oona gin dat nobody mus dohn tink dat A a fool. Bot ef dat so oona tink, oona oughta listen ta me jes like e been a fool wa da taak ta oona, so dat A kin still taak a leetle bit bout dem good ting wa mek me too heppy. 17 Wen A taak like dis now, A ain da say wa de Lawd tell me fa say. A da taak like a fool. 18 Plenty people da brag bout how good dey da, da taak jes een de way ob de wol. So A, too, gwine brag. 19 Oona got sense, an dat mek oona glad fa beah wid fool dem! 20 Oona da beah wid wasoneba poson wa da mek like e oona massa an oona e slabe, or wa da tek wantage ob oona or set trap fa oona. Oona da beah wid um wa da mek like e mo betta den oona, or wa da knock oona een de face. 21 A shame fa tell oona dat we ain been scrong mout nuff fa do dat!

Bot ef somebody scrong mout nuff fa brag bout sompin--A da taak like a fool--A, too, kin be scrong mout like dat. 22 Dey say dey Hebrew, ainty? A Hebrew too. Dey people ob Israel? A one ob Israel people too. Dey Abraham chullun chullun? A one ob Abraham chullun chullun too. 23 Dey Christ saabant? A da taak like a mad man, bot A a saabant mo betta den dey! A beena wok faa way mo den dey beena wok. A been chunk een de jailhouse heap mo time den dey been chunk een de jailhouse. People done beat me op fa true mo bad den dey done beat dem op. An A come close ta det oba an oba gin. 24 Fibe time de Jew dem done beat me. Ebrybody ob dem fibe time, dey scrike me tirty-nine time. 25 A been beat op wid a rod shree time. One time people done chunk stone at me, da try fa kill me. Shree time de boat A been on done git all smash op an sink eenta de wata. An dey been one time wen A been dey een de wata one whole day an one whole night. 26 All de time A beena trabel all oba, A been een haam way. Dey been plenty ting wa kin kill me, de flood ob de riba, tief dem, me own Jew countryman dem, an dem wa ain Jew, all dem wa try fa do bad ta me. Dey been ting wa kin kill me dey een city dem, an een de desat, an wen A lef de sho fa go faaway pon de sea. An dey been dem people wa beena say dey me broda, bot fa true dey been me enemy. 27 Fa sho, A been wok haad, an plenty night A ain got no sleep. Sometime A been hongry an tosty. An plenty time A ain nyam nottin, an A been cole, an ain got no cloes fa weah. 28 Den pontop ob all dem oda ting, ebryday A da tink bout all de choch dem, how dey da do. 29 Wen oona ain able fa stan scrong, A feel like A ain scrong. Wen oona git trap an fall eenta sin, A feel bad fa true.

30 Ef A haffa brag bout de good ting dem A done, A gwine brag bout dem ting wa show dat A ain scrong. 31 God, de Fada ob we Lawd Jedus, e know dat A ain da tell no lie. Leh all people praise um faeba! 32 Wen A been dey een Damascus, de gobna wa been dey onda King Aretas, e sen sodja dem fa watch at de city gyate fa grab hole ta me. 33 Bot me Christian bredren pit me eenside a basket. Den dey done pass de basket shru a winda een de city wall an leh me down outside de city. Dat hoccome de gobna ain ketch me.
