2nd Corinthians 11:14

11 Why? because I have no love for you? let God be judge.

12 But 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.

13 For such men are false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles of Christ.

14 And it is no wonder; for even Satan himself is able to take the form of an angel of light.

15 So 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.

16 I 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.

17 What I am now saying is not by the order of the Lord, but as a foolish person, taking credit to myself, as it seems.
