2 Corinthians 11:16-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ I say again, let no one think that I am foolish, (or even take me as a fool) that I may also boast of myself a little.

¹⁷ What I speak, I do not speak according to the Lord but, as it were, foolishly, while we are boasting.

¹⁸ Seeing that many rejoice after the flesh, I will rejoice also.

¹⁹ For you endure fools gladly, because you are wise.

²⁰ For you endure, even if someone enslaves you, if someone devours you, if someone takes from you, if someone exalts himself, if someone strikes you on the face.

²¹ Concerning dishonor I speak as though we were weak. But wherein anyone is bold (I speak foolishly) I am bold also.
