American Standard Version
2 Corinthians 12:10-12
American Standard Version
10 Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
11 I am become foolish: ye compelled me; for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing was I behind [a]the very chiefest apostles, though I am nothing. 12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all [b]patience, by signs and wonders and [c]mighty works.

Paul’s Concern for the Corinthians
11 I have made a fool of myself,(E) but you drove me to it. I ought to have been commended by you, for I am not in the least inferior to the “super-apostles,”[a](F) even though I am nothing.(G) 12 I persevered in demonstrating among you the marks of a true apostle, including signs, wonders and miracles.(H)
