2 Corinthians 11:17-20

17 What I am saying ^awith this boastful confidence, ^bI say not as the Lord would ^{▼▼Greek not according to the Lord} but as a fool. 18 Since ^dmany boast according to the flesh, I too will boast. 19 For you gladly bear with fools, ^ebeing wise yourselves! 20 For you bear it if someone ^fmakes slaves of you, or ^gdevours you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or ^hstrikes you in the face.
