⁵ Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

³⁰ If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.

³ And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

⁹ And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

¹⁰ Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
