13. For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.
14. And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
15. It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
16. I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
17. That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
18. Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
19. For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
20. For you bear with a man, if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, if he strikes you on the face.
