2 Corinthians 12:9-11
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.
12:10 Therefore I am content with
weaknesses, with insults, with troubles, with persecutions and difficulties
for the sake of Christ, for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.
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.
