2 Corinthians 11:19-21

English Standard Version

¹⁹ For you gladly bear with fools, ^(A)being wise yourselves! ²⁰ For you bear it if someone ^(B)makes slaves of you, or ^(C)devours you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or ^(D)strikes you in the face. ²¹ To my shame, I must say, ^(E)we were too weak for that!

But whatever anyone else dares to boast of—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast of that.
