2 Corinthians 11:13-18 Such people are false apostles, dishonest workers who are masquerading as apostles of the Messiah.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Such people are false apostles, dishonest workers who are masquerading as apostles of the Messiah. ¹⁴ And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. ¹⁵ So it is not surprising if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their doom will match their deeds!
¹⁶ Paul’s Sufferings as an ApostleI will say it again: No one should think that I am a fool. But if you do, then treat me like a fool so that I can also boast a little. ¹⁷ When I talk as a confident boaster, I am not talking with the Lord’s authority but like a fool. ¹⁸ Since many people boast in a fleshly way, I will do it, too.
