Do we again begin to commend ourselves? or whether have we need of commendatory letters to you or from you, as some do?

Again I say, Let no one consider me to be a fool; but if not, receive me as a fool, in order that I may indeed glory some little.

For if I shall wish to glory, I will not be a fool; for I speak the truth: but I fear, lest some one may consider with reference to me above what he sees me, or hears from me.
