2 kwabaseKorinte 12:9-11

Yathi kimi: “Umusa wami ukwanele, ngokuba amandla ami apheleliswa ebuthakathakeni. Ngakho-ke ngizathokoza ngokuthokoza okukhulu ngobuthakathaka bami, ukuze amandla kaKristu ahlale phezu kwami. Ngakho ngiyathokoza ebuthakathakeni, nasekuthukweni, nasekusweleni, nasekuzingelweni, nasekubandezelekeni ngenxa kaKristu, ngokuba lapho ngibuthakathaka, kulapho-ke nginamandla. Sengibe yisiwula ngokuzibonga; ningiphoqile nina, ngokuba mina bekufanele ukuba nginconywe yinina, ngokuba angisilele ngalutho kubaphostoli abakhulu kunabo bonke, noma ngingelutho.
