11. Why? because I do not love you? God knows.
12. But what I do, I will also do, that I may cut off the opportunity of those wishing for an opportunity, that wherein they boast they may be found even as we.
13. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
14. And it is not wonderful, for Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
15. It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
16. Again I say, Let not any one think me to be a fool; but if otherwise, receive me then even as a fool, that I also may boast myself some little.
17. What I speak I do not speak according to the Lord, but as in folly, in this confidence of boasting.
18. Since many boast according to flesh, I also will boast.
19. For ye bear fools readily, being wise.
20. For ye bear if any one bring you into bondage, if any one devour you, if any one get your money, if any one exalt himself, if any one beat you on the face.
