2 Corinthians 11:19 Context
17That which I speake, I speake it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly in this confidence of boasting. 18Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also. 19For ye suffer fooles gladly, seeing ye your selues are wise. 20For ye suffer if a man bring you into bondage, if a man deuoure you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himselfe, if a man smite you on the face. 21I speake as concerning reproch, as though we had bene weake: howbeit, wherein soeuer any is bold, I speake foolishly, I am bold also.
