Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
