15It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.
16I say again, let no man think me foolish; but if [ye do], yet as foolish receive me, that I also may glory a little.
17That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying.
18Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
19For ye bear with the foolish gladly, being wise [yourselves].
20For ye bear with a man, if he bringeth you into bondage, if he devoureth you, if he taketh you [captive], if he exalteth himself, if he smiteth you on the face.
21I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet whereinsoever any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
