2 Corinthians 12:11
| ← 2 Corinthians 12:10 | 2 Corinthians 12:11 (KJV) | 2 Corinthians 12:12 → |
|---|---|---|
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
|
I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
|
Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
