2 Corinthians 12:5

Catholic Public Domain Version

On behalf of someone like this, I will glory. But on behalf of myself, I will not glory about anything, except my infirmities.

See the chapter Copy

in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, saying, "He took our infirmities, and he carried away our diseases."

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and with much trembling.

If it is necessary to glory, I will glory of the things that concern my weaknesses.

If it is necessary (though certainly not expedient) to glory, then I will next tell of visions and revelations from the Lord.
