2 Corinthians 12:5

New International Version

I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses.

See the chapter Copy

This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”

I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling.

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

I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.
