10As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.
11Why? because I have no love for you? let God be judge.
12But what I do, that I will go on doing, so that I may give no chance to those who are looking for one; so that, in the cause of their pride, they may be seen to be the same as we are.
13For such men are false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles of Christ.
14And it is no wonder; for even Satan himself is able to take the form of an angel of light.
15So it is no great thing if his servants make themselves seem to be servants of righteousness; whose end will be the reward of their works.
16I say again, Let me not seem foolish to anyone; but if I do, put up with me as such, so that I may take a little glory to myself.
