2 Corinthians 11:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ You think that you are very wise! So you are happy to listen to fools. ²⁰ You accept people who make you like their slaves. You accept people who cheat you, or take things from you. You accept people who are proud of themselves. Even if someone hits you in your face, you still accept him. ²¹ But we were not brave enough to do things like that to you. Should I be ashamed of that?

But other people are brave enough to praise themselves. So I will also be proud of the same things. (Now I am talking like a fool!)
