2 Corinthians 12:5

New American Bible - revised edition

About this person I will boast, but about myself I will not boast, except about my weaknesses.

See the chapter Copy

to fulfill what had been said by Isaiah the prophet: “He took away our infirmities and bore our diseases.” The Would-be Followers of Jesus.

I came to you in weakness and fear and much trembling,

If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

I must boast; not that it is profitable, but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.
