17 But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”[a](A) 18 For it is not the one who commends himself(B) who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.(C)

Paul and the False Apostles

11 I hope you will put up with(D) me in a little foolishness.(E) Yes, please put up with me! I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband,(F) to Christ, so that I might present you(G) as a pure virgin to him.

17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

11 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
