2 kwabaseKorinte 12:9-11

Yathi kimi: “Umusa wami ukwanele; ngokuba amandla ami apheleliswa ebuthakathakeni.” Ngakho kunalokho ngijabulela ukuzibonga ngobuthakathaka bami, ukuze amandla kaKristu ahlale phezu kwami. Ngakho ngenamile ebuthakathakeni, nasekuphathweni kabi, nasekusweleni, nasekuzingelweni, nasekubandezekeni ngenxa kaKristu, ngokuba uma ngibuthakathaka, yikhona nginamandla.

Sengize ngaba yisiwula; nina ningiphoqile. Ngokuba mina kwakufanele ukuba nginconywe yinina. Ngokuba angisilele ngalutho kubaphostoli abaqhamileyo kakhulu, noma ngingento yalutho.
