2 Corinthians 11:17

---

← 2 Corinthians 11:16	2 Corinthians 11:17 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 11:18 →
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.	Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

Often used in compounds, with substantially the same import; rarely with verbs of motion, and then not to indicate direction, except (elliptically) by a separate (and different) preposition.
• G2596 — κατά (katá, kat-ah'): down from, against, according to, throughout, during — a primary particle; (prepositionally) down (in place or time), in varied relations (according to the case (genitive, dative or accusative) with which it is joined):--about, according as (to), after, against, (when they were) X alone, among, and, X apart, (even, like) as (concerning, pertaining to touching), X aside, at, before, beyond, by, to the charge of, (charita-)bly, concerning, + covered, (dai-)ly, down, every, (+ far more) exceeding, X more excellent, for, from … to, godly, in(-asmuch, divers, every, -to, respect of), … by, after the manner of, + by any means, beyond (out of) measure, X mightily, more, X natural, of (up-)on (X part), out (of every), over against, (+ your) X own, + particularly, so, through(-oughout, -oughout every), thus, (un-)to(-gether, -ward), X uttermost, where(-by), with. In composition it retains many of these applications, and frequently denotes opposition, distribution, or intensity.
• G2746 — καύχησις (kaúchēsis, kow'-khay-sis): the act of boasting, exultation — from καυχάομαι; boasting (properly, the act; by implication, the object), in a good or a bad sense:--boasting, whereof I may glory, glorying, rejoicing.

• G5287 — ὑπόστασις (hypóstasis, hoop-os'-tas-is): assurance, substance, reality — from a compound of ὑπό and ἵστημι; a setting under (support), i.e. (figuratively) concretely, essence, or abstractly, assurance (objectively or subjectively):--confidence, confident, person, substance.
