2 Corinthians 11:17

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

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

See the chapter Copy

For to the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

Lest, when the Macedonians shall come with me, and find you unprepared, we (not to say ye) should be ashamed in this matter.

Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give counsel, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.

But I speak this by indulgence, not by commandment.

Would to God you could bear with some little of my folly: but do bear with me.
