2 Corinthians 11:16
I say again, let no one think me a fool. Or, if you must, at least bear with me as a fool, that I, too, may do a little boasting.
2 Corinthians 11:1
Would that you could put up with a little "folly" from me! Nay, do bear with me.
2 Corinthians 12:6
If I should choose to continue boasting I should not be foolish, for I should be speaking the truth. But I refrain, lest by the stupendous grandeur of the revelation any one should estimate me beyond what he sees in me, or hears from me.
2 Corinthians 11:19
Although you are wise, you put up with fools willingly enough!
2 Corinthians 11:21-23
I say that I was weak, and yet for whatever reason any one is bold (I speak in mere folly) I too am bold.
2 Corinthians 12:11
I am become a fool??ou have forced me to; for you yourselves ought to have been my vindicators. In no respect am I inferior to these superapostolic apostles, even though I am nothing.
