Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
New Defender's Study Bible Notes
12:9 glory in my infirmities. We need to learn to thank God, rather than complain to God and others, about our “infirmities,” reproaches, “necessities,” “persecutions,” “distresses for Christ’s sake” (II Corinthians 12:10). God’s strength, paradoxically, is not measured in ordinary human terms (e.g., riches, physical prowess, beauty, intellect), but rather “is made perfect in weakness.”
