‏ 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

My grace is sufficient; to enable you with patience to bear it, support and comfort you under it, and make you more happy and useful than you would be without it.

Glory in my infirmities; because they fit me better for the service of Christ, and make it more manifest that it is his power which sustains me, and gives success to my labors. Take pleasure in infirmities; on account of the good which they occasion.

Weak; in myself.

Strong; in Christ. Pride is so natural and strong even in Christians, and the bestowment on them of special mercies is so apt to increase it, that God sees it needful to visit them with special trials; and if, in answer to their prayers and the use of proper means, he does not remove those trials, they have abundant reason to acquiesce and even to rejoice in their continuance, as the best means of promoting the glory of God and the good of his kingdom.
