On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses—
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling,
This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.”
I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.
