SCRIPTURE

"I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet whereinsoever any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also." — 2 Corinthians 11:21 (ASV)

Nay, in whatsoever. Paul had asked why the Corinthians showed more respect to others than to him, although he was by no means weak, that is, contemptible. He now confirms this, because if a comparison were made, he would not have been inferior to anyone in any aspect of honor.
