I say again, Let no man think me foolish; but if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Paul returns here to what he said at the beginning of the chapter. What he is about to say is true, though it may make him appear to be foolish, because these truths redound to his praise. Paul is not really boasting but merely wants to show that others who boast have nothing more to show for themselves than he has, so that if they are worthy of praise so is he.
