2 Corinthians 11:16-23
161Again I say, let no one think me foolish; but if you do, receive me even as foolish, so that I also may boast a little. 17What I am saying, I am not saying 23as the Lord would, but as 4in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting. 18Since 5many boast 6according to the flesh, I will boast also. 19For you, 7being so wise, tolerate the foolish gladly. 20For you tolerate it if anyone 8enslaves you, anyone 9devours you, anyone 10takes advantage of you, anyone 11exalts himself, anyone 12hits you in the face. 21To my 13shame I must say that we have been 14weak by comparison.
But in whatever respect anyone else 15is bold--I 16speak in foolishness--I am just as bold myself. 22Are they 17Hebrews? 18So am I. Are they 19Israelites? 20So am I. Are they 2122descendants of Abraham? 23So am I. 23Are they 24servants of Christ?--I speak as if insane--I more so; in 2526far more labors, in 2728far more imprisonments, 2930beaten times without number, often in 31danger of death.
