2 Corinthians 12:9-11

New International Version

⁹ But he said to me, “My grace^(A) is sufficient for you, for my power^(B) is made perfect in weakness.^(C)”^(D) Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. ¹⁰ That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight^(E) in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships,^(F) in persecutions,^(G) in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.^(H)

Paul’s Concern for the Corinthians

¹¹ I have made a fool of myself,^(I) but you drove me to it. I ought to have been commended by you, for I am not in the least inferior to the “super-apostles,”^[a](J) even though I am nothing.^(K)
