Read in context

2 Corinthians 11:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.

16 I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.

17 In this confident boasting of mine, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as a fool.

18 Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I too will boast.
