2 Corinthians 12:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord (A)three times that it might leave me. 9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for (B)power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather (C)boast [a]about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10 Therefore (D)I delight in weaknesses, in [b]insults, in (E)distresses, in (F)persecutions, in (G)difficulties, (H)in behalf of Christ; for (I)when I am weak, then I am strong.

New International Version
8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.(A) 9 But he said to me, “My grace(B) is sufficient for you, for my power(C) is made perfect in weakness.(D)”(E) Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight(F) in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships,(G) in persecutions,(H) in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.(I)
