2 Corinthians 11:16-23

161AgainG3825 I sayG3004, let noG3361 oneG5100 thinkG1380 me foolishG878; but ifG1487 you do, receiveG1209 me evenG2579 as foolishG878, soG2443 thatG2443 I alsoG2532 may boastG2744 a littleG3398. 17WhatG3739 I am sayingG2980, I am not sayingG2980 23as the LordG2962 would, but as 4in foolishnessG877, in thisG3778 confidenceG5287 of boastingG2746. 18SinceG1893 5manyG4183 boastG2744 6accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, I will boastG2744 alsoG2532. 19For you, 7beingG1510 so wiseG5429, tolerateG430 the foolishG878 gladlyG2234. 20For you tolerateG430 it ifG1487 anyoneG5100 8enslavesG2615 you, ifG1487 anyoneG5100 9devoursG2719 you, ifG1487 anyoneG5100 10takesG2983 advantage of you, ifG1487 anyoneG5100 11exaltsG1869 himself, ifG1487 anyoneG5100 12hitsG1194 you in the faceG4383. 21To my 13shameG819 I must sayG3004 that we have been 14weakG770 by comparison.

But in whateverG3739G302 respect anyoneG5100 else 15isG5111 boldG5111--I am 16speakingG3004 in foolishnessG877--I tooG2532 amG5111 boldG5111. 22Are they 17HebrewsG1445? 18SoG2532 am I. Are they 19IsraelitesG2475? 20SoG2532 am I. Are they 2122descendantsG4690 of AbrahamG11? 23SoG2532 am I. 23Are they 24servantsG1249 of ChristG5547?--I am speakingG2980 as if insaneG3912--I moreG5228 soG5228; in 25farG4056 moreG4056 laborsG2873, in 26farG4056 moreG4056 imprisonmentsG5438, 2728beatenG4127 timesG5234 withoutG5234 numberG5234, oftenG4178 in danger of 29deathG2288.
