2 Corinthians 11:16 - Adam Clarke

2 Corinthians 11:16

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.

18 Seeing that many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast.

Let no man think me a fool - See the note on II Corinthians 11:1. As the apostle was now going to enter into a particular detail of his qualifications, natural, acquired, and spiritual; and particularly of his labors and sufferings; he thinks it necessary to introduce the discourse once more as he did II Corinthians 11:1.
