But he said to me,“ My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me.So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and in difficulties, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Isaiah 53:10-12
Yet the LORD was pleased to crush him severely. When you make him a guilt offering, he will see his seed, he will prolong his days, and by his hand, the LORD’s pleasure will be accomplished.After his anguish, he will see light and be satisfied. By his knowledge, my righteous servant will justify many, and he will carry their iniquities.Therefore I will give him the many as a portion, and he will receive the mighty as spoil, because he willingly submitted to death, and was counted among the rebels; yet he bore the sin of many and interceded for the rebels.

Philippians 1:12-20
Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually advanced the gospel,so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard, and to everyone else, that my imprisonment is because I am in Christ.Most of the brothers have gained confidence in the Lord from my imprisonment and dare even more to speak the word fearlessly.To be sure, some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of good will.These preach out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel;the others proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, thinking that they will cause me trouble in my imprisonment.What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoicebecause I know this will lead to my salvation through your prayers and help from the Spirit of Jesus Christ.My eager expectation and hope is that I will not be ashamed about anything, but that now as always, with all courage, Christ will be highly honored in my body, whether by life or by death.
