2 Corinthians 11:15-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁵ So it is no great surprise if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, but their end will correspond with their deeds.

¹⁶ I repeat then, let no one think that I am foolish; but even if you do, at least accept me as foolish, so that I too may boast a little. ¹⁷ What I say in this confident boasting, I say not as the Lord would [with His authority], but foolishly.
