But he said to me,“ My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am.

I am glad when things are difficult. And I am glad when people make me suffer. When I am weak, I am strong.I have made a fool of myself. But you made me do it. You should have praised me. Even though I am nothing, I am in no way less important than the“ super- apostles.”
