(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) That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

(18) Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

(28) Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

(20) For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:

(5) Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

(6) But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

(6) But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
