If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.

For if I boast somewhat more about our authority that the Lord gave us for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of doing so.

I 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.
