12. But what I do, I will continue to do that I may take away the occasion from those who desire it to be found like unto us in that in which they glory.
13. For these false apostles are deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
14. And it is no marvel, for Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
15. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers transform themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.
16. I say again, Let no one think me a fool if otherwise, receive me as a fool, that I may yet glory a little.
17. That which I speak, I speak it not according to the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of glory.
18. Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
19. For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
