If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
If I have to brag about something, I'm going to brag about my weaknesses and struggles.

📚 Historical Context
In the letter of 2 Corinthians, written by the Apostle Paul around AD 55-57 to address issues in the Corinthian church, Paul is defending his apostolic authority against false teachers who boasted about their impressive qualifications and experiences. He contrasts their prideful self-promotion by emphasizing that his own ministry is marked by weakness, suffering, and hardships, which he sees as evidence of God's true power at work. This verse reflects Paul's broader theme of paradoxical strength through vulnerability, as he refuses to boast in human achievements.
