2 Corinthians 11:15-19

Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

Again 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.

What I am saying, I am not saying as the Lord would, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

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

For you, being so wise, tolerate the foolish gladly.
