Therefore this passage gives no proof that any portion of Scripture is uninspired. It merely guards against his boasting being made a justification of boasting in general, which is not ordinarily "after the Lord," that is, consistent with Christian humility. foolishly — Greek, "in foolishness." confidence of boasting — ( 2 Corinthians 9:4 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-18" class="com-number"
