Paul Adopts the Fool’s Boast

2 Corinthians 11:16-21

I repeat: don’t let anyone think I am a fool. But even if you do, at least receive me as a fool; so that I too may do a little boasting!

What I am saying is not in accordance with the Lord; rather, this conceited boasting is spoken as a fool would speak.

Since many people boast in a worldly way, I too will boast this way.

For since you yourselves are so wise, you gladly put up with fools!

You put up with it if someone makes slaves of you, exploits you, takes you in, puffs himself up, slaps you in the face.

To my shame, I must admit that we have been too “weak” to do such things! But if anyone dares to boast about something — I’m talking like a fool! — I am just as daring.
