2 Corinthians 11:17-21

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.

For you tolerate it if anyone enslaves you, if anyone devours you, if anyone takes advantage of you, if anyone exalts himself, if anyone hits you in the face.

To my shame I must say that we have been weak by comparison. But in whatever respect anyone else is bold—I am speaking in foolishness—I too am bold.
