2 Corinthians 1:8; 2 Corinthians 4:7; 2 Corinthians 6:7; 2 Corinthians 8:3; 2 Corinthians 12:9; 2 Corinthians 12:12; 2 Corinthians 13:4

8 For we do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively , beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life;

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;

7 in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,

3 For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they gave of their own accord,

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.

12 The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles.

4 For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.
