2 Corinthians 12:9 in Context — 2 Corinthians 12

7 E para que eu não ficasse arrogante pela excelência das revelações, me foi dado um espinho na carne, [que é] um mensageiro de Satanás, para me atormentar, para que eu não ficasse arrogante.

8 Três vezes eu orei ao Senhor por causa disso, para que [isso] de afastasse de mim.

9 Mas ele me disse: “Minha graça te basta, porque meu poder se aperfeiçoa na fraqueza”. Por isso, com muito prazer, eu me orgulharei nas minhas fraquezas, para que o poder de Cristo habite em mim.

10 Por isso tenho prazer nas fraquezas, nos insultos, nas necessidades, nas perseguições, nas angústias por causa de Cristo; porque quando estou fraco, então fico forte.

11 Eu me fiz de tolo ao me orgulhar; [mas] vós me obrigastes [a isso] ; porque eu devia ser louvado por vós, pois eu em coisa nenhuma fui inferior aos “superapóstolos”, ainda que eu nada seja.
