2 Corinthians 12:5-12

5On behalfG5228 of such a oneG3588 will I glory: but on mineG1473 own behalfG5228 I will not glory, save in my weaknessesG769. 6For if I should desireG2309 to glory, I shall not beG1510 foolishG878; for I shall speakG3004 the truthG225: but I forbear, lestG3361 any man should account of me above that which he seeth me to beG1510, or heareth from me. 7And by reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelationsG602, that I should not be exalted overmuch, there was givenG1325 to me a thorn in the fleshG4561, a messengerG32 of SatanG4567 to buffet me, that I should not be exalted overmuch. 8ConcerningG5228 this thingG3778 I besought the LordG2962 thrice, that it might departG868 from me. 9And he hath saidG3004 unto me, My graceG5485 is sufficient for thee: for my powerG1411 is made perfect in weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will I ratherG3123 glory in my weaknessesG769, that the powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may rest upon me. 10Wherefore I take pleasureG2106 in weaknessesG769, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutionsG1375, in distressesG4730, for Christ’s sake: for whenG3752 I amG1510 weakG770, then amG1510 I strongG1415.

11I amG1510 becomeG1096 foolishG878: ye compelledG315 me; for I oughtG3784 to have beenG1510 commendedG4921 of you: for in nothing wasG1510 I behind the very chiefest apostlesG652, though I amG1510 nothing. 12Truly the signsG4592 of an apostleG652 were wrought among you in all patience, by signsG4592 and wondersG5059 and mightyG1411 works.
