16 Again I say, let no one think me a fool. Otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little.
17 What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
18 Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I also will boast.
19 For you bear with fools gladly, being wise yourselves!
20 For you put up with it if someone enslaves you, if someone devours you, if someone takes from you, if someone exalts himself, if someone strikes you in the face.
21 To our shame, I say that we were too weak for that! But in whatever anyone is bold (I speak foolishly) I am bold also.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I.
23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am even more: in labors far more, in beatings immeasurably, in imprisonments far more, in deaths often.
24 By the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have spent in the depth of the sea.
26 In journeys often, in dangers of rivers, in dangers of robbers, in dangers from my own race, in dangers from the Gentiles, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, in dangers in the sea, in dangers among false brothers;
27 in labor and hardship, in sleepless nights often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness--
28 apart from what I leave unmentioned, what comes against me daily: the anxiety for all the churches.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
30 If I must boast, I will boast about the things concerning my weakness.
