“For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.”
King James Version (KJV)
11:19 Being wise - A beautiful irony.
2Co 11:19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye [yourselves] are wise. See 1Co 4:10. It was a part of their superior wisdom to tolerate fools. This is perhaps said in derision. It is explained in 2Co 11:20.
For ye suffer fooles gladly, seeing ye your selues are wise.
