Verse 16
He ‘Foolishly’ Compares Himself With His Opponents (2 Corinthians 11:16 to 2 Corinthians 12:13 ).
‘I say again, let no man think me foolish; but if you do, yet as foolish receive me, that I also may glory a little.’
He does not want to be thought ‘foolish’ for what he is about to say (compare 2 Corinthians 11:1), even though he is about to glory in himself, like the foolish do (2 Corinthians 10:12). But if they wish to receive him as foolish, that is fine with him. Let them receive him as foolish, just so long as he can ‘boast’ a little and they will listen.
