# 2 Corinthians 12:9 and Justification 2 Corinthians 12:9 states: "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me" (NIV). This verse does not directly teach about justification (the doctrine that we are declared righteous by faith in Christ). Rather, it addresses sanctification and God's sustaining grace in Christian living, showing that believers depend on God's grace not only for initial salvation but also for ongoing strength in their weaknesses.
