2 Corinthians 2 14-2 Corinthians 2 16
Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation.

2 Corinthians 12 11-2 Corinthians 12 21
I have become a fool in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing.Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds.For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong!Now for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be burdensome to you; for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.But be that as it may, I did not burden you. Nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you by cunning!Did I take advantage of you by any of those whom I sent to you?I urged Titus, and sent our brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?Again, do you think that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ. But we do all things, beloved, for your edification.For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults;lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, fornication, and lewdness which they have practiced.

2 Corinthians 11 16-2 Corinthians 11 30
I say again, let no one think me a fool. If otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little.What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.Seeing that many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast.For you put up with fools gladly, since you yourselves are wise!For you put up with it if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one strikes you on the face.To our shame I say that we were too weak for that! But in whatever anyone is bold— I speak foolishly— I am bold also.Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I.Are they ministers of Christ?— I speak as a fool— I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one.Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness—besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches.Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?If I must boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity.

2 Corinthians 3 4-2 Corinthians 3 6
And we have such trust through Christ toward God.Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

2 Corinthians 12 1
It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord:
