2 Corinthians 11:14

Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.

But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity, that in which they boast, they may be recognized just like us.

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.

It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.

That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
