2 Corinthians 11:21
I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also. I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
The verse belongs to the relating of personal experience given in 2 Corinthians 11. That chapter is to be studied and made to talk and to speak decidedly to workers. It warns that judging matters by human standards leads to grave mistakes when people take up a work God has not appointed and has condemned, such as criticizing others, passing sentence, and accusing fellow believers. Instead it points readers to examine and correct their own faults.
For workers its lesson is to obtain a deeper experience. For workers its lesson is to enter into no controversies. For workers its lesson is to avoid seeking to be original in a way that brings in odd notions. For workers its lesson is to keep the work moving in a dignified, elevated, and ennobling manner.
