2 Corinthians 11:15

---

← 2 Corinthians 11:14	2 Corinthians 11:15 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 11:16 →
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.	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.	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.

Strong's References

• G846 — αὐτός (autós, ow-tos'): he, she, it, they, them, same — from the particle (perhaps akin to the base of ἀήρ through the idea of a baffling wind) (backward); the reflexive pronoun self, used (alone or in the comparative ἑαυτοῦ) of the third person , and (with the proper personal pronoun) of the other persons:--her, it(-self), one, the other, (mine) own, said, (self-), the) same, ((him-, my-, thy- )self, (your-)selves, she, that, their(-s), them(-selves), there(-at, - by, -in, -into, -of, -on, -with), they, (these) things, this (man), those, together, very, which.
