⁵ Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not ^(A)boast, except in my infirmities.

⁹ And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly ^(A)I will rather boast in my infirmities, ^(B)that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

¹⁰ Therefore ^(A)I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. ^(B)For when I am weak, then I am strong.
