'As a Fool' in the Bible

I repeat, let no one think me foolish; but even if you do, receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.

What I am saying I am not saying as the Lord would, but as a fool, in this confidence of boasting.

To my shame, I must say that we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast aboutI am speaking as a foolI also dare to boast about.
