NASB | 2 Corinthians 12:9 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. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 12:9 but He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough--always available--regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness." Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me. |
Bible Question (short): Whose power perfected in weakness |
Question (full): My NASB Study Bible marginal note for 2 Corinthians 12:9 says [Later mss. read My power]. Because the manuscripts differ we have different versions of the Bible. 2 Corinthians 12:9, NASB, "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, that the power of Christ may dwell in me." 2 Cor 12:9, NKJ, "And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness". Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." I am considering the power of God. I was comparing some verses which in my mind relate to 2 Cor 12:9. I welcome comments. 2 Cor 13:4 with 2 Cor 4:7 Luke 22:43 with 2 Cor 13:4 Luke 22:46, NKJ with 2 Cor 13:7 Luke 22:45 with 2 Cor 13:12 1 Cor 10:13 with 2 Cor 12:9 Any comments on these comparison verses?
