9 But he said to me, *"My grace is sufficient for you, for *my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that *the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 *For the sake of Christ, then, *I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For *when I am weak, then I am strong.
