13. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14. And no wonder; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also are transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
16. I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
17. That which I speak, I speak it not according to the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
