¹¹ Then Asa called^(A) to the Lord his God and said, “Lord, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us,^(B) Lord our God, for we rely^(C) on you, and in your name^(D) we have come against this vast army. Lord, you are our God; do not let mere mortals prevail^(E) against you.”

⁹ But he said to me, “My grace^(A) is sufficient for you, for my power^(B) is made perfect in weakness.^(C)”^(D) 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^(E) in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships,^(F) in persecutions,^(G) in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.^(H)

¹⁹ They will fight against you but will not overcome^(A) you, for I am with you^(B) and will rescue^(C) you,” declares the Lord.
