2 Corinthians 11:20-22
New Catholic Bible

20 For you endure it if someone makes slaves of you, or robs you of all you possess, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or slaps you in the face. 21 To my shame, I must admit that we have been too weak for that sort of thing!

But whatever anyone dares to boast of—I am speaking out of foolishness—I also dare to boast of. 22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham?[a] So am I. Read full chapter

Footnotes

  1. 2 Corinthians 11:22 Hebrews . . . Israelites . . . descendants of Abraham: apparently, the false apostles are Jewish Christians who feel superior to Gentile Christians. They want to impose distinctly Jewish practices on Gentile converts. Paul is completely opposed to such a thing (see Rom 2:28f; 1 Cor 12:13; Gal 3:28f; Eph 2:11-18; Col 3:11) and emphasizes that he is everything they are—a Hebrew, an Israelite, and a descendant of Abraham.
