When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I consider, do I consider according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off the opportunity from them which desire an opportunity; that wherein they boast, they may be found even as we.
I am become a fool in boasting; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Messiah may rest upon me.
