2 Corinthians 11:16-21

16I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.1 17That which I speak, I speak it not according to the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. 18Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also. 19For ye bear with fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise. 20For ye bear with it, if a man bringeth you into bondage, if a man devoureth you, if a man taketh from you, if a man exalteth himself, if a man smiteth you on the face. 21I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. But in whatever respect any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
