2 Corinthians 11:17
King James Version
“That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.”
Context
14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15Therefore no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
16I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
17That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
18Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
19For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye are wise.
20For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour if a man take if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
