2 Corinthians 12

9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power* 12:9 Mk 5:30; Lk 1:35; 6:19; Ac 19:11; 2Co 13:4; Rv 11:17is perfected in weakness."* 12:9 Is 40:29–31; 1Co 2:5; Php 4:13

Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. 10 So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and in difficulties, for the sake of Christ.  * 12:10 Mt 5:11–12; Rm 5:3; 2Co 13:4 For when I am weak, then I am strong.  * 12:10 Eph 6:10
