Romans 3:5

5But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict awrath on us? ( bI speak in a human way.)

2 Corinthians 11:16-17

Paul’s Sufferings as an Apostle

16I repeat, clet 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 dwith this boastful confidence, eI say not as the Lord would
Greek  not according to the Lord
but as a fool.

2 Corinthians 11:21

21To my shame, I must say, gwe were too weak for that!

But whatever anyone else dares to boast of—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast of that.
