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.
19 For you freely accept the foolish, though you yourselves claim to be wise.
20 For you permit it when someone guides you into servitude, even if he devours you, even if he takes from you, even if he is extolled, even if he strikes you repeatedly on the face.
