^16 (A)Again I say, let no one think me foolish; but if you do, receive me even as foolish, so that I also may boast a little.

¹⁸ Since ^(A)many boast ^(B)according to the flesh, I will boast also.

³⁰ If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my ^(A)weakness.

^5 (A)On behalf of such a man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in ^(B)weaknesses.

⁹ And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for ^(A)power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather ^(B)boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
