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 cheerfully about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may take up residence upon me.* 10 So then, I take pleasure in weaknesses,* in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
