2 Corinthians 12:10
| ← 2 Corinthians 12:9 [words of Jesus] | 2 Corinthians 12:10 (KJV) | 2 Corinthians 12:11 → |
|---|---|---|
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.
|
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.
|
I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
