2 Corinthians 12:9-11

New King James Version

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

Signs of an Apostle

¹¹ I have become ^(E)a fool ^[a]in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for ^(F)in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though ^(G)I am nothing.
