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.

¹⁴ But ^[a](A)far be it from me to boast, ^(B)except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(C)through ^[b]which the world has been crucified to me, and ^(D)I to the world.
