I say [this] to [my] shame, namely, that we have been weak. But in whatever anyone dares to [boast]--I am speaking in foolishness--I also dare to [boast].

For if I want to boast, I will not be foolish, because I will be telling the truth, but I am refraining, so that no one can credit to me more than what he sees [in] me or hears anything from me,

Receive me

I wish that you would put up with me {in something a little foolish}--but indeed you are putting up with me.

General references

{What you know}, I myself also know-- I [am] not more inferior than you.
