9 A kua mea mai ia ki ahau, E ranea ana toku atawhai hei mea mou: mana tonu hoki toku kaha i runga i te ngoikore. Na pai rawa atu ki ahau te whakamanamana ki oku ngoikore, kia ai ai te kaha o te Karaiti hei taupoki moku.

9 And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
