What does the Bible say about humility in 2 Corinthians?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that true strength comes from recognizing our weakness, as expressed by Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:11, 'though I be nothing.'

In 2 Corinthians 12, the Apostle Paul emphasizes the importance of humility in the Christian life. He notes that despite being spiritually gifted and an apostle, he recognizes his own nothingness before God. This acknowledgment of weakness is crucial, as it allows God's strength to be made perfect in our frailty. Paul learned that it is when he is weak that he is truly strong, indicating that reliance on one's own abilities leads to pride, while dependence on God's grace brings true power.
