2 Corinthians 13 4
For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

2 Corinthians 11 29-2 Corinthians 11 30
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn with indignation?If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
-
2 Corinthians 12 5-2 Corinthians 12 10
On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.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.Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

Acts 17:6-12
When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying,“ These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.

-

-
2 Corinthians 4 7-2 Corinthians 4 12
But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.So then death works in us, but life in you.

-
2 Corinthians 10 10
For,“ His letters”, they say,“ are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”
-
1 Corinthians 4 10-1 Corinthians 4 13
We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
-
Galatians 4:13-14
but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
