Read in context

2 Corinthians 11:17–21 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

19 For you gladly tolerate fools, since you are so wise.

20 In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or exalts himself or strikes you in the face.

21 To my shame I concede that we were too weak for that! Speaking as a fool, however, I can match what anyone else dares to boast about.
