2 Corinthians 11:17

Compare all

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.

19 For you put up with fools gladly, ^asince you yourselves are wise!

20 For you put up with it ^aif one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one strikes you on the face.

21 To our shame ^aI say that we were too weak for that! But ^bin whatever anyone is bold—I speak foolishly—I am bold also.

Suffering for Christ

22 Are they ^aHebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I.
