17 (That which I now speak, I speak it not from the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence as boasting.

18 Since many glory in the flesh, I will glory also.)

19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise!

Yet whereinsoever any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
