Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(2Co 11:16) “I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.”  “Fool”: in this context, “one who seeks to uplift self before others.” Though speaking “as a fool”, Paul is only “acting” the fool. His goal is not self’s exaltation, but acceptance for their good and God’s glory.
