2 Corinthians 11:11

Compare all

9 And when I was present with you, and in need, ^aI was a burden to no one, for what I lacked ^bthe brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.

10 ^aAs the truth of Christ is in me, ^bno one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

11 Why? ^aBecause I do not love you? God knows!

12 But what I do, I will also continue to do, ^athat I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast.

13 For such ^aare false apostles, ^bdeceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.

14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into ^aan angel of light.

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, ^awhose end will be according to their works.

Reluctant Boasting

16 I say again, let no one think me a fool. If otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little.

17 What I speak, ^aI speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
