2 Corinthians 11:17
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
In this confident boasting of mine, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as a fool.
In context
15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.
16 I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
17 In this confident boasting of mine, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as a fool.
18 Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I too will boast.
19 For you gladly tolerate fools, since you are so wise.
