2 Corinthians 11:10

1 will not be stopped
2 in the regions of Achaia.
2 Corinthians 11:14-16
11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself
3 as an angel of light.

Paul’s Sufferings for Christ
11:16 I say again, let no one think that I am a fool. 6 But if you do, then at least accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
2 Corinthians 11:18-20
11:18 Since many
7 are boasting according to human standards,
8 I too will boast.
11:19 For since you are so wise, you put up with
9 fools gladly.
11:20 For you put up with
10 it if someone makes slaves of you, if someone exploits you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone behaves arrogantly
11 toward you, if someone strikes you in the face.
