On behalfof such a manI will boast;but on my ownbehalfI will not boast,exceptin regard to [my] weaknesses.
[This was] to fulfillwhatwas spokenthroughIsaiahthe prophet:"HE HIMSELFTOOKOUR INFIRMITIESAND CARRIED AWAYOUR DISEASES."
I was with you in weaknessand in fearand in muchtrembling,
IfI haveto boast,I will boastof what pertains to my weakness.
Boastingis necessary,thoughit is not profitable;but I will goon to visionsand revelationsof the Lord.
