10 As surely as I speak the truth about Christ, no one in Achaia can stop me from bragging about this.
11 And it isn't because I don't love you. God himself knows how much I do love you.
12 I plan to go on doing just what I have always done. Then those people won't be able to brag about doing the same things we are doing.
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? Someday they will get exactly what they deserve.
16 I don't want any of you to think I am a fool. But if you do, then let me be a fool and brag a little.
