  • 2 Cor 11:16-30 : 16 I say again, let no one think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast a little. 17 That which I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as if foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. 18 Since many boast according to the flesh, I will also boast. 19 For you gladly bear with fools, seeing that you yourselves are wise. 20 For you bear it if someone brings you into bondage, if someone devours you, if someone takes from you, if someone exalts himself, if someone strikes you on the face. 21 I speak concerning reproach, as though we were weak. But in whatever anyone is bold—I speak foolishly—I am bold also. 22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I. 23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. 24 From the Jews five times I received forty lashes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 In journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own countrymen, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 27 In weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 28 Besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation? 30 If I must boast, I will boast in the things concerning my weakness.
  • 2 Cor 12:1 : 1 It is not profitable for me, doubtless, to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
  • 2 Cor 12:11-21 : 11 I have become a fool in boasting; you have compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you. For in nothing am I behind the very chief apostles, though I am nothing. 12 Truly the signs of an apostle were performed among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. 13 For in what way were you inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong. 14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be burdensome to you, for I seek not yours, but you. For the children should not lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved. 16 But be it so, I did not burden you; nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. 17 Did I make a gain of you by any of those whom I sent to you? 18 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps? 19 Again, do you think that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ, but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edification. 20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you wish not; lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults; 21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall mourn for many who have sinned already and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
