2 Corinthians 12:6 - King James Version (Oxford) 1769For 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. See the chapterMore versionsAmplified Bible - Classic EditionShould I desire to boast, I shall not be a witless braggart, for I shall be speaking the truth.
