2 Corinthians 11:1
Paul and the False Apostles
1 I wish you would bear with me in a little pfoolishness. Do bear with me!
2 Corinthians 11:16–17
Paul’s Sufferings as an Apostle
16 I repeat, let no one think me foolish. But even if you do, accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little. 17 What I am saying with this boastful confidence, I say not as the Lord would1 but as a fool.
2 Corinthians 11:21
21 To my shame, I must say, nwe were too weak for that!
But whatever anyone else dares to boast of—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast of that.
