## 2 Corinthians 11:18-23 in Context (Verses 15–26 KJV)
 
 [15 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/15) Therefore *it is* no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/16) I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/17) That which I speak, I speak *it* not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/18) Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/19) For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye *yourselves* are wise.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/20) For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour *you*, if a man take *of you*, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/21) I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/22) Are they Hebrews? so *am* I. Are they Israelites? so *am* I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so *am* I.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/23) Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I *am* more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/24) Of the Jews five times received I forty *stripes* save one.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/25) Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
 
 [26 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/11/26) *In* journeyings often, *in* perils of waters, *in* perils of robbers, *in* perils by *mine own* countrymen, *in* perils by the heathen, *in* perils in the city, *in* perils in the wilderness, *in* perils in the sea, *in* perils among false brethren;
