2 Corinthians 12:11

In context

9 But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

10 That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

11 I have become a fool, but you drove me to it. In fact, you should have commended me, since I am in no way inferior to those “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.

12 The true marks of an apostle—signs, wonders, and miracles—were performed among you with great perseverance.

13 In what way were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
