2 CORINTHIANS—NOTE ON 2 Corinthians 11:16 In his arrogance the fool boasts in himself, not in the Lord (see 2 Corinthians 10:17). He is condemned for this (see, e.g., Psalms 14:1; Proverbs 9:13). Almost like a fool, Paul is about to boast a little in his own identity in order to make his point (see 2 Corinthians 11:21). Paul recognizes that he does so not as the Lord would (that is, not following a direct command from the Lord). He does so only because in Corinth many boast according to the flesh.
