ContextPaul’s Sufferings for Christ
11:16 I say again, let no one think that I am a fool. 1 But if you do, then at least accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little. 11:17 What I am saying with this boastful confidence 2 I do not say the way the Lord would. 3 Instead it is, as it were, foolishness.
