2 Corinthians 11:16

---

← 2 Corinthians 11:15	2 Corinthians 11:16 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 11:17 →
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.	That which I speak, I speak [it] not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

Strong's References

• G878 — ἄφρων (áphrōn, af'-rone): senseless, foolish, inconsiderate — from Α (as a negative particle) and φρήν; properly, mindless, i.e. stupid, (by implication) ignorant, (specially) egotistic, (practically) rash, or (morally) unbelieving:--fool(-ish), unwise.

• G1380 — δοκέω (dokéō, dok-eh'-o): I think, seem, appear, it seems — a prolonged form of a primary verb, (used only in an alternate in certain tenses; compare the base of δεικνύω) of the same meaning; to think; by implication, to seem (truthfully or uncertainly):--be accounted, (of own) please(-ure), be of reputation, seem (good), suppose, think, trow.
• G1490 — εἰ δὲ μή(γε) (ei dè mḗ(ge), i deh may'-(gheh)): but if not, else, otherwise — from εἰ, δέ, and μή (sometimes with γέ added); but if not:--(or) else, if (not, otherwise), otherwise.

• G2443 — ἵνα (hína, hin'-ah): in order that, so that — probably from the same as the former part of ἑαυτοῦ (through the demonstrative idea; compare ὁ); in order that (denoting the purpose or the result):--albeit, because, to the intent (that), lest, so as, (so) that, (for) to. Compare ἵνα μή.
• G2504 — κἀγώ (kagṓ, kag-o'): I also, I too — from καί and ἐγώ; so also the dative case , and accusative case and (or also, even, etc.) I, (to) me:--(and, even, even so, so) I (also, in like wise), both me, me also.
• G2579 — κἄν (kán, kan): and if, even if — from καί and ἐάν; and (or even) if:--and (also) if (so much as), if but, at the least, though, yet.

• G3004 — λέγω (légō, leg'-o): I say, speak — a primary verb; properly, to "lay" forth, i.e. (figuratively) relate (in words (usually of systematic or set discourse; whereas ἔπω and φημί generally refer to an individual expression or speech respectively; while ῥέω is properly to break silence merely, and λαλέω means an extended or random harangue)); by implication, to mean:--ask, bid, boast, call, describe, give out, name, put forth, say(-ing, on), shew, speak, tell, utter.
