2 Corinthians 12:9 in Context — 2 Corinthians 12
7 Et pour que je ne sois pas enflé d’orgueil, à cause de l’excellence de ces révélations, il m’a été mis une écharde dans la chair, un ange de Satan pour me souffleter et m’empêcher de m’enorgueillir.
8 Trois fois j’ai prié le Seigneur de l’éloigner de moi,
9 et il m’a dit: Ma grâce te suffit, car ma puissance s’accomplit dans la faiblesse. Je me glorifierai donc bien plus volontiers de mes faiblesses, afin que la puissance de Christ repose sur moi.
10 C’est pourquoi je me plais dans les faiblesses, dans les outrages, dans les calamités, dans les persécutions, dans les détresses, pour Christ; car, quand je suis faible, c’est alors que je suis fort.
11 J’ai été un insensé: vous m’y avez contraint. C’est par vous que je devais être recommandé, car je n’ai été inférieur en rien aux apôtres par excellence, quoique je ne sois rien.
