Exegesis
The second half mirrors this structure: kai gar hēmeis asthenoumen en autō {καὶ γὰρ ἡμεῖς ἀσθενοῦμεν ἐν αὐτῷ | kaì gàr hēmeîs asthenoûmen en autô} “for we also are weak in Him” uses present tense and the dative of sphere with en to express mutual participation in Christ’s weakness.
In context — 2 Corinthians 13:4
For He was crucified out of weakness , yet He lives by the power of God . For we also are weak in Him, yet we will live with Him by the power of God in our dealings toward you.
