2 Corinthians 12:9

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

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.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

Most gladly{G2236} therefore{G3767} will I{G2744} rather{G3123} glory{G2744}{(G5695)} in{G1722} my{G3450} infirmities{G769}, that{G2443} the power{G1411} of Christ{G5547} may rest{G1981}{(G5661)} upon{G1909} me{G1691}.

(9) And He said to me, "Be content with your favourable-grace! My power completes in weakness."
The F.O.G*
[9] But He said to me, "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that the Messiah's power may rest on me like a tent of divine strength over human frailty.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and He said to me, ‘Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;’ most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:
