NASB
"What I am saying, I am not saying as the Lord would, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting."
— 2 Corinthians 11:17, NASB
“That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.”
“That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying. ”
“That which I speak, I don't speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.”
“What I am saying with this boastful confidence I do not say the way the Lord would. Instead it is, as it were, foolishness.”
“That which I speak, I speak not according to God: but as it were in foolishness, in this matter of glorying.”
“What I am now saying is not by the order of the Lord, but as a foolish person, taking credit to myself, as it seems.”
“That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.”
No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.
Again I say, let no one think me foolish; but if you do, receive me even as foolish, so that I also may boast a little.
What I am saying, I am not saying as the Lord would, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
Since many boast according to the flesh, I will boast also.
For you, being so wise, tolerate the foolish gladly.
For you tolerate it if anyone enslaves you, anyone devours you, anyone takes advantage of you, anyone exalts himself, anyone hits you in the face.
