2 Corinthians 11:17

What I speak, I speak not according to Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of the boast.

But to the rest I say, not the Lord. If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and this woman consents to dwell with him, he should not leave her.

if somehow Macedonians should come with me and find you unprepared, we (that we might not say, ye) would be embarrassed in this confidence of boast.

But I say this from concession not from commandment.

Now concerning the virgins I have no commandment of Lord, but I give an opinion, as having obtained mercy from Lord to be trustworthy.

Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast.

For we are the circumcision, men who worship in spirit to God, and who boast in Christ Jesus, and not being confident in flesh.

What ye know, I also know; I am not inferior to you.
