Commentary on 2 Corinthians 11:16

Theological / Devotional

Think me a fool. With a strong protest to the Corinthians, to his enemies, and to himself that it is nothing short of foolishness, he engages in “boasting” (see on v. 1). That it is repugnant to him to do so proves he is not a fool. Christ also referred to His good deeds in confirmation of His claims (John 10:32, 37, 38 ; 15:24). Paul apparently felt that, however much he might personally dislike to “boast” — as his defense of his ministry may be called — he must do so to meet the false charges of the false apostles at Corinth.

Receive me. That is, listen to me.
