13 Anyway, they are no more than false apostles and dishonest workers. They only pretend to be apostles of Christ.
14 And it is no wonder. Even Satan tries to make himself look like an angel of light.
15 So why does it seem strange for Satan's servants to pretend to do what is right? Some day they will get exactly what they deserve.
16 I don't want any of you to think that I am a fool. But if you do, then let me be a fool and boast a little.
17 When I do all this boasting, I do it as a fool and not for the Lord.
18 Yet if others want to boast about what they have done, so will I.
19 And since you are so clever, you will gladly put up with a fool.
