2 Corinthians 11:16-23

16Again I say, Let not any one think me to be a fool; but if otherwise, receive me then even as a fool, that I also may boast myself some little.

17What I speak I do not speak according to [the] Lord, but as in folly, in this confidence of boasting.

18Since many boast according to flesh, I also will boast.

19For ye bear fools readily, being wise.

20For ye bear if any one bring you into bondage, if any one devour [you], if any one get [your money], if any one exalt himself, if any one beat you on the face.

21I speak as to dishonour, as though we had been weak; but wherein any one is daring, (I speak in folly,) I also am daring.

22Are they Hebrews? I also. Are they Israelites? I also. Are they seed of Abraham? I also.

23Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as being beside myself) I above measure [so]; in labours exceedingly abundant, in stripes to excess, in prisons exceedingly abundant, in deaths oft.
