2 Corinthians 11:16
Next Verse

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.

Note 1 at 2 Cor. 11:16: Paul is now speaking, not as a command from the Lord, but as a fool (see note 2 at v. 1, p. 1033). Since many of these false apostles are so eager to boast of their merely human achievements, so will Paul. In their human wisdom the Corinthians are gladly tolerating fools. If someone brings them into bondage, takes advantage of them, traps them, looks down on them, or slaps them on the face they tolerate it. Now Paul is asking them to tolerate him as he indulges in some boasting about his qualifications.
