14 And no wonder! For even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
16 I say again, let no one think that I am a fool. Otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, so that I also may boast a little.
17 What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
18 Seeing that many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast.
19 For you tolerate fools gladly, seeing you yourselves are wise.
20 For you permit it if a man brings you into bondage, if a man devours you, if a man takes from you, if a man exalts himself, or if a man strikes you on the face.
