Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in insults, in persecutions, in distresses for the Messiah's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of Elohim.
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.
For even if he was executed through weakness, yet he lives by the power of Yahweh. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of Yahweh toward you.
Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of the Messiah in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the assembly:
Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Sovereign delivered me.
