2 Corinthians 11:16

I say again, Let no man think me a fool... — The stinging word is repeated from 2 Corinthians 11:1. He protests against the justice of the taunt. He pleads that, even if they think him “insane” (this, rather than mere foolishness, is probably the meaning of the word), they will give him the attention which, even in that case, most men would give — which they, at least, were giving to men to whom that term might far more justly be applied.
