2 Corinthians

¹⁴And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. ¹⁵Therefore it is not surprising his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will correspond to their actions. ¹⁶I say again, let no one think that I am a fool. But if you do, then at least accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little. ¹⁷What I am saying with this boastful confidence I do not say the way the Lord would. Instead it is, as it were, foolishness. ¹⁸Since many are boasting according to human standards, I too will boast. ¹⁹For since you are so wise, you put up with fools gladly. ²⁰For you put up with it if someone makes slaves of you, if someone exploits you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone behaves arrogantly toward you, if someone strikes you in the face.
