¹³ and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,

³ and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;

⁷ and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch.

⁸ Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me,

⁹ and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:

¹⁰ wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses -- for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

¹⁰ `because the letters indeed -- saith one -- `are' weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.'

⁶ and even if unlearned in word -- yet not in knowledge, but in every thing we were made manifest in all things to you.

³⁰ if to boast it behoveth `me', of the things of my infirmity I will boast;

⁶ I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;

⁶ and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,

⁴ for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you.
