2 Corinthians 11:4-5, 16-18

2 Corinthians 11:4-5 NCV

You are very patient with anyone who comes to you and preaches a different Jesus from the one we preached. You are very willing to accept a spirit or gospel that is different from the Spirit and Good News you received from us. I do not think that those “great apostles” are any better than I am.

2 Corinthians 11:16-18 NCV

I tell you again: No one should think I am a fool. But if you think so, accept me as you would accept a fool. Then I can brag a little, too. When I brag because I feel sure of myself, I am not talking as the Lord would talk but as a fool. Many people are bragging about their lives in the world. So I will brag too.
