2 Corinthians 12:11

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

I have become a fool, but you drove me to it. In fact, you should have commended me, since I am in no way inferior to those “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

I am become{G1096}{(G5754)} a fool{G878} in glorying{G2744}{(G5740)}; ye{G5210} have compelled{G315}{(G5656)} me{G3165}: for{G1063} I{G1473} ought{G3784}{(G5707)} to have been commended{G4921}{(G5745)} of{G5259} you{G5216}: for{G1063} in nothing{G3762} am I behind{G5302}{(G5656)} the very chiefest{G3029} apostles{G652}{G5228}, though{G1499} I be{G1510}{(G5748)} nothing{G3762}.
Strong's King James
(11) Becoming foolish to you compels me because I should've been recommended by you. For in no respect was I lacking to the extraordinary ambassadors even though I'm nobody!

[11] I've become a fool in all this boasting, but you drove me to it! I should have been commended by you, for I am not in the least inferior to these "super-apostles," even though I am nothing in myself.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
I have become a fool—boasting; ye—ye did compel me; for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles—even if I am nothing.
