Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
John 1:14-18 “14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;15 (John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me;)
16 for of his fulness we all have received, and grace upon grace.17 For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth subsists through Jesus Christ.18 No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, *he* hath declared [him].”
2 Corinthians 8:9 “9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that *ye* by *his* poverty might be enriched.”
2 Corinthians 11:24-33 “24 From the Jews five times have I received forty [stripes], save one.25 Thrice have I been scourged, once I have been stoned, three times I have suffered shipwreck, a night and day I passed in the deep:
26 in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from [my own] race, in perils from [the] nations, in perils in [the] city, in perils in [the] desert, in perils on [the] sea, in perils among false brethren;27 in labour and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.28 Besides those things that are without, the crowd [of cares] pressing on me daily, the burden of all the assemblies.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is stumbled, and I burn not?30 If it is needful to boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity.31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows—he who is blessed for ever—that I do not lie.32 In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes shut up, wishing to take me;33 and through a window in a basket I was let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.”
2 Corinthians 12:1-10 “12 Well, it is not of profit to me to boast, for I will come to visions and revelations of [the] Lord.2 I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, (whether in [the] body I know not, or out of the body I know not, God knows;) such [a one] caught up to [the] third heaven.3 And I know such a man, (whether in [the] body or out of the body I know not, God knows;)
4 that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable things said which it is not allowed to man to utter.5 Of such [a one] I will boast, but of myself I will not boast, unless in my weaknesses.6 For if I shall desire to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I will say [the] truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think as to me above what he sees me [to be], or whatever he may hear of me.
7 And that I might not be exalted by the exceeding greatness of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn for the flesh, a messenger of Satan that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted.8 For this I thrice besought the Lord that it might depart from me.
9 And he said to me, My grace suffices thee; for [my] power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may dwell upon me.10 Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, in straits, for Christ: for when I am weak, then I am powerful.”
