2 CORINTHIANS 13:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.”
For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God's power we will live with him in serving you — the *Christological foundation*: Christ's *crucifixion* (*stauros*) was *astheneia*, weakness, yet resurrection (*záō*) is *dynamis*, power. Paul's *astheneia* (weakness) *mimics* Christ's. The Corinthians' *oikodomen*, edification, requires apostolic *participation in Christ's weakness and power*.
