- For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me.
- Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me--to keep me from exalting myself!
- Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me.
- And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness " Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
- Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

- 我就是願意誇口、也不算狂.因為我必說實話.只是我禁止不說、恐怕有人把我看高了、過於他在我身上所看見所聽見的。
- 又恐怕我因所得的啟示甚大、就過於自高、所以有一根剌加我肉體上、就是撒但的差役、要攻擊我、免得我過於自高。
- 為這事、我三次求過主、叫這剌離開我。
- 他對我說、我的恩典彀你用的.因為我的能力、是在人的軟弱上顯得完全.所以我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱、好叫基督的能力覆庇我.
- 我為基督的緣故、就以軟弱、凌辱、急難、逼迫、困苦、為可喜樂的.因我甚麼時候軟弱、甚麼時候就剛強了。
