2 Corinthians 12:10

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.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.

For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
