'Foolish' in the Bible

For if we are foolish, it is to God; or if we are serious, it is for you.

We would not dare put ourselves in the same class with, or compare ourselves to, those who recommend themselves. Whenever they measure themselves by their own standards or compare themselves among themselves, they show how foolish they are.

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

Again I say, let no one think me foolish; but if you do, receive me even as foolish, so that I also may boast a little.

What I am now saying is not by the order of the Lord, but as a foolish person, taking credit to myself, as it seems.

For you, being so wise, tolerate the foolish gladly.

To my shame, I must say, we have been too weak [in comparison to those pseudo-apostles who take advantage of you].But in whatever anyone else dares to boast—I am speaking foolishly—I also dare to boast.

For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me.

I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am a nobody.
