2 Corinthians 12:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ Because of how I suffered for Christ, I’m glad that I am weak. I am glad in hard times. I am glad when people say mean things about me. I am glad when things are difficult. And I am glad when people make me suffer. When I am weak, I am strong.

Paul’s Concern for the People of Corinth

¹¹ I have made a fool of myself. But you made me do it. You should have praised me. Even though I am nothing, I am in no way less important than the “super-apostles.” ¹² While I was with you, I kept on showing you the actions of a true apostle. These actions include signs, wonders and miracles.
