2 Corinthians 11:16


← 2 Corinthians 11:15 2 Corinthians 11:16 (KJV) 2 Corinthians 11:17 →
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
