Don’t Think Me Foolish, But I Too Can Boast

16 Again I say, let no one think me to be foolish. Otherwise indeed, receive me even if as foolish, in order that I also may boast a little bit! 17 In this confidence[a] of boasting[b], what I am speaking, I am not speaking according-to the Lord, but as in foolishness.

18 Since many are boasting according-to the flesh, I also will boast!
