(What I am saying I say not with the Lord's authority but as a fool, in this boastful confidence;

Flere versioner

What I say by way of this confident boasting, I say not with the Lord's authority [by inspiration] but, as it were, in pure witlessness.

That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying.

I’m not saying what I’m saying because the Lord tells me to. I’m saying it like I’m a fool. I’m putting my confidence in this business of bragging.

What I am saying is not said according to God, but as if in foolishness, in this matter of glorying.

That which I speak, I speak not according to God, but as it were in foolishness, in this matter of glorying.

To the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.

Now concerning the unmarried, I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy.

I say this by way of concession, not of command.

I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me!

lest if some Macedonians come with me and find that you are not ready, we be humiliated—to say nothing of you—for being so confident.
