⁹ But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power^(A) is perfected in weakness.”^(B)

Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me.

¹⁶ I pray that he may grant you, according to the riches^(A) of his glory,^(B) to be strengthened with power^(C) in your inner being^(D) through his Spirit,

¹¹ being strengthened^(A) with all power,^(B) according to his glorious^(C) might, so that you may have great endurance and patience, joyfully

Paul’s Testimony

¹² I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord who has strengthened^(A) me, because he considered me faithful, appointing me to the ministry—

¹⁷ But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that I might fully preach the word and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth.
