2 Corinthians 11:2
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Study Note
Paul's declaration 'I am jealous over you with godly jealousy — for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ' deploys the bridal metaphor for the church-Christ relationship that is most fully developed in Ephesians 5:25–32 and Revelation 19:7–9. The language of 'betrothal' (hērmosamen) treats Paul's missionary founding of the community as an act of match-making — the church's pure devotion to Christ is his responsibility to protect against the seductive 'different gospel' of the opponents (v. 4). The divine jealousy (zēlos theou) echoes the Sinai covenant's language about YHWH as a jealous God (Exodus 20:5), mapping the Israel-YHWH marriage metaphor onto the apostle-community-Christ relationship. The verse contributed to the rich tradition of bridal mysticism in Christian spirituality from Origen through Bernard of Clairvaux.
