And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

My grace is sufficient — strength is made perfect in weakness. Paul's thorn becomes a platform.
