2 Corinthians 11:15-17
New English Translation
15 Therefore it is not surprising his servants also disguise themselves[a] as servants of righteousness, whose end will correspond to their actions.[b]
Paul’s Sufferings for Christ
16 I say again, let no one think that I am a fool.[c] But if you do, then at least accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little. 17 What I am saying with this boastful confidence[d] I do not say the way the Lord would.[e] Instead it is, as it were, foolishness.
