2 Corinthians 11:16-17
New English Translation

Paul’s Sufferings for Christ

16 I say again, let no one think that I am a fool.[a] But if you do, then at least accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little. 17 What I am saying with this boastful confidence[b] I do not say the way the Lord would.[c] Instead it is, as it were, foolishness.
