And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for (A)power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather (B)boast [a]about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10 Therefore (C)I delight in weaknesses, in [b]insults, in (D)distresses, in (E)persecutions, in (F)difficulties, (G)in behalf of Christ; for (H)when I am weak, then I am strong.

11 I have become (I)foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, since I was (J)in no respect inferior to the [c]most eminent apostles, even though (K)I am a nobody. 12 The (L)distinguishing marks [d]of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by [e]signs, wonders, and [f]miracles.
