2 Corinthians 11:16 in Context — 2 Corinthians 11

14 E isto não é algo maravilhoso; porque o mesmo Satanás se transforma [fingindo ser] anjo de luz.

15 Portanto não é muita [surpresa] se também seus trabalhadores se transformam, [fingindo serem] trabalhadores da justiça; o fim dos quais será conforme as suas obras.

16 Outra vez digo, que ninguém pense que sou tolo; ou se não, recebei a mim como se eu fosse tolo, para que eu também me orgulhe um pouco.

17 O que eu estou dizendo, não estou dizendo conforme o Senhor, mas sim como um tolo, nesta firme orgulho confiante.

18 Porque muitos se orgulham segundo a carne; e também eu me orgulharei.
