Paul, in his second letter to the Corinthians, expresses his joy in weakness and strength. He emphasizes the idea that when he is weak, he is glad because it allows for God's strength to shine through. This vulnerability allows for God's power to be made perfect in his life. Moreover, Paul expresses his desire for the Corinthians to be strong and strive for perfection. He wishes for them to reach their full spiritual potential and be grounded in their faith.
