11:16 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. 11:17 That which I speak, I speak [it] not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

2 Corinthians 11:19

11:19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye [yourselves] are wise.

2 Corinthians 11:21

11:21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
