12 But what I am doing, I will continue to do, so that I may take away an opportunity from those who desire an opportunity by which they may glory, so as to be considered to be like us.
13 For false apostles, such as these deceitful workers, are presenting themselves as if they were Apostles of Christ.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan presents himself as if he were an Angel of light.
15 Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers present themselves as if they were ministers of justice, for their end shall be according to their works.
16 I say again. And let no one consider me to be foolish. Or, at least, accept me as if I were foolish, so that I also may glory a small amount.
17 What I am saying is not said according to God, but as if in foolishness, in this matter of glorying.
18 Since so many glory according to the flesh, I will glory also.
