2 Corinthians 12:5-6
12:5 On behalf of such an individual I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except about my weaknesses.
12:6 For even if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I would be telling
the truth, but I refrain from this so that no one may regard
me beyond what he sees in me or what he hears from me,
2 Corinthians 12:9
12:9 But
he said to me, “My grace is enough
for you, for my
power is made perfect
in weakness.” So then, I will boast most gladly
about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may reside in
me.
2 Corinthians 12:11
The Signs of an Apostle
12:11 I have become a fool. You yourselves forced me to do it, for I should have been commended by you. For I lack nothing in comparison to those “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.
