1I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me!

Paul’s Sufferings as an Apostle

16I repeat, alet no one think me foolish. But even if you do, accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little. 17What I am saying bwith this boastful confidence, cI say not as the Lord would
Greek  not according to the Lord
but as a fool.
