2 Corinthians 12:9-11

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁹ But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power^[a](A) is perfected in weakness.”^(B) Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. ¹⁰ So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, catastrophes, persecutions, and in pressures, because of Christ.^(C) For when I am weak, then I am strong.^(D)

Signs of an Apostle

¹¹ I have become a fool; you forced it on me. I should have been endorsed by you, since I am not in any way inferior to the “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.^(E)
