2 Corinthians 11:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Therefore, it should not be considered unusual that his servants also disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness. Their end will be appropriate to their deeds.

¹⁶ Paul’s Boast. I repeat: let no one take me for a fool. However, if you do, then treat me like a fool and let me boast a little. ¹⁷ In saying this, I am not speaking according to the Lord but out of foolishness in the conviction that I have something to boast about.
