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 ^[a]about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. ¹⁰ Therefore ^(C)I delight in weaknesses, in ^[b]insults, in ^(D)distresses, in ^(E)persecutions, in ^(F)difficulties, ^(G)in behalf of Christ; for ^(H)when I am weak, then I am strong.

⁸ For ^(A)by grace you have been saved ^(B)through faith; and ^[a]this is not of yourselves, it is ^(C)the gift of God; ^9 (D)not a result of works, so that ^(E)no one may boast.
